Score 94/100 · Drink 2002-2019, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

The 1997 Barolo Brunate displays an evolved dark garnet color with an amber edge. However, in the mouth, it is dense, full-bodied, moderately tannic, structured, and backward with plenty of power, concentration, and youthfulness. Despite the evolved color, this wine needs another 1-2 years of cellaring, and should age well for 16-18+ years. Importer: Veuve Clicquot, New York, NY; tel. (212) 888-7575

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Very good full red. Complex aromas of smoke, mocha, flowers and mint. Sweet, smooth and dense, but given shape by penetrating vinosity. Enticing hint of amaretto. Finishes with substantial dusty, spreading tannins.
