Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Nov 07
Good full medium red. Very ripe aromas of strawberry, licorice, minerals and truffle, with balsamic and dried floral nuances. Fat, sweet, rich and deep; at once succulent and seamless, with a wonderfully layered texture and great early appeal. Very full without coming across as weighty. The slow-building finish features substantial sweet tannins. Shows the magic side of 2001, Franco offers. It can keep for a long time but it's great right now. By the way, 2001 was the seventh consecutive vintage in which this wine was bottled, but there will be no '02, '03 or '04.

Fleshier nose than the older Granbussias. Quite a rich palate entry. Firm and dense. Still quite chewy. Liquorice, but very dry. Some compost. Very pure. Sweeter than the vintages in the 1990s. Lots of energy. The Conterno family love 2001. (JR)

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
