Tasting notes
The 2013 Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti packs a good bit of punch as well as persistence. It would be nice to see a little more freshness. Even so, there is quite a bit to admire. The dark cherry, smoke, leather, cedar and tobacco flavors show good delineation. This is certainly a fine debut, and hopefully a sign of better things to come. I would prefer to drink the 2013 sooner rather than later.

La Morra. Pale red. Vegy nose and then quite sweet and brûlée. Not the most refreshing. Tannins very much there. (JR)
La Morra. Concentrated mid ruby with orange tinges. Appealing, sweet, fragrant strawberry fruit on the nose. Lovely supple strawberry fruit streamlined by acidity and bags of grainy tannins. Quite a tannic finish and yet maintains its elegance effortlessly. (WS)
