2001 Barolo Vecchie Vite dei Capalot e Brunate Riserva

Voerzio’s old-vines 2001 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate rounds out this set of stunning Barolos. It presents a deeply spiced, balsamic nose along with generous amounts of black cherry fruit with exceptional length and purity in its vibrant flavors. Sadly this wine shut down quickly in the glass and my guess is that I was only able to get a brief look at its qualities. Difficult to fully appreciate today, it will almost certainly merit a higher score in a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate # 167 Oct 2006
