Tasting notes
The 2000 Barolo Big 'd Big opens with a perfumed and aromatic nose of macerated cherries, new oak and underbrush. The roundest of the estate's Barolos, the Big 'd Big is full-bodied and offers plenty of super-ripe black cherry, toasted oak and mineral flavors, with good length on the palate and a note of menthol on the finish.

The 2000 Barolo Vigna Big, ripe and intense with vanilla and eucalyptus notes on the nose, is long, solid, and tarry on the palate. It is already drinking well but will easily last until 2016. Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 757-8185
Full red. Aromas of redcurrant, tobacco, underbrush and nutty oak. Very sweet and lush, with palate-caressing plum and redcurrant fruit complicated by gamey nuances. Finishes with substantial but fairly sweet tannins.
