Tasting notes
The 2004 Barolo Brunate has acquired distinctly exotic nuances over the last few years. Cloves, lavender, wild herbs, tobacco and orange peel are all pushed forward. Dark and sensual, with a classic sense of Brunate gravitas, the 2004 is an other good choice for drinking over the next handful of years. Here, too, the wine is a bit more forward than I expected.

Voerzio's 2004 Barolo Brunate captures the telltale balsamic notes of this justly famous site with gorgeous suggestions of mint, tobacco and licorice wrapped around an expressive, authoritative core of plush dark plums, prunes and black cherries. This dark, brooding Barolo finishes with big, building tannins that will require patience. A bottle of the 1997 I tasted alongside it had developed a flavor profile eerily similar to that of a 1991 Jaboulet An Hermitage La Chapelle I tasted a few days prior.
