Tasting notes
Scavino's 2004 Barolos are among the most powerful, concentrated wines of the vintage. These massively constituted Barolos will require significant patience. The estate's Barolo has always been a standout and the 2004 is no exception. It is a perfumed wine that presents the essence of dried roses, plums, cherries and herbs with a medium-bodied, feminine personality. A sweet note of tar lingers on the long, resonating finish. The Barolo is made from a variety of vineyards, including Vignolo, Vignane, Via Nuova and Monvigliero.

Good full, deep red. Flamboyant aromas of plum liqueur, redcurrant and nutty oak. Juicy, vibrant and delineated, with considerable complexity to the flavors of redcurrant, plum, chocolate and truffley underbrush. Finishes with sweet tannins and excellent length and lift.
