The 2000 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate (magnum) flows with the essence of smoke, tar and dark plums. It is one of the darker, more inward wines in this lineup. Sweet spiced, mentholated notes appear with time as the fruit continues to fill out its broad-shouldered frame as the wine builds towards its muscular, enveloping finish.
The 2000 version of the Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate reveals inviting aromas of super sweet fruit and spices in a typical expression of the vintage. Soft and velvety on the palate, it offers good follow through in its dense ripe fruit and menthol flavors, turning a bit balsamic as it sits in the glass. While it doesn't quite have the complexity and length of this producer's 2001s, this bottling offers immensely rewarding drinking today. From Magnum.
