Score 91/100 · Drink 2006-2020, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

The 1997 Barolo Vigna Enrico VI (a cuvee that sees 50% new barriques rather than the 100% for the Bricco Gattera and 33% for the Monfalletto) is complex and intense. The wine's dense ruby/purple color is followed by classic aromas of road tar, rose petals, leather, cedar, and black fruits. Full-bodied, dense, chewy, and powerful, with good underlying acidity as well as sweet tannin, this classic should age well for 2+ decades. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.
