Another great Altare barolo with age. Rose petals, liquorice, herbs and spices. Wild red berries, orange peel. Floral, beautifully elegant, surprisingly fresh for a 2003 Brunate. Rim almost bright yellow -. never seen colour like that on a barolo.

Tasted blind. Ruby with a slight orange tinge. Coffee on the nose. Massive tannins, layers of dried fruit, tar and acidity. Textbook Barolo. This was approachable (just) but will improve over the next 10 years.

Wine House - Best of Current Italy: Wonderful big creamy strong fruit nose; Big finish; Verrrrry long; Entry is a bit simple but it really resolves itself
