The 2001 Barolo Giachini is round, sweet and polished. This isn't the most complex Barolo at Revello but the suave tannins and sexy personality makes it a great choice for drinking over the next few years. Bright, floral notes ring out on the impeccable finish. Some very slight elements of fragility lead me to believe the readers shouldn't wait too long here.

The 2001 Barolo Giachini is quite aromatic and spiced from the new oak, with plenty of cherries in liqueur, plum and licorice flavors, closing with good length and sustain on the finish. A few years of bottle age should help smooth some of the rough edges.

Red-ruby. Strawberry liqueur and nutty oak aromas, with hints of pepper and licorice. Suave, minerally and tight; distinctly less fleshy today than the Gattera but with more thrust and energy. Then subtly sweet and long on the back end, with very fine tannins. Solidly structured Barolo that seems more youthfully unevolved than the Gattera.
