Tasting notes
Voerzio's 1996 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate is one of the most overt wines in this range. Super-ripe black cherry, mocha and dried herbs flesh out in a flamboyant, opulent Barolo endowed with serious depth. Drink it over the next 5-7 years or so.

The profound 1996 Barolo Capalot Riserva boasts a dense, ruby/purple color, and a pure nose of black cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. Layered and multidimensional, with a sweet mid-palate and a blockbuster finish, this is an immense, full throttle Barolo that should age effortlessly for 15-25 years. Impressive!

Saturated deep ruby color. Violet, mint, blackberry and cassis on the high pitched nose. Very concentrated and firm; wrapped up in its strong acidity today. The floral quality carries through in the mouth. Finishes with great length and substantial sandy tannins. But appears to have enough sheer density for balance.
