  Absolutely stunning wine for being 20 years old, the dark fruit lasts throughout every course of the meal. Dark dried fruit on the nose the strongest being prunes. The first taste is a tobacco with some wood accents and even a hint of almost volcanic rock. The finish is easily the best part of the wine with strong complexed fruit mostly sour cherry and plum.

  Drank from a magnum. Decanted for two hours. Nose has vanilla oak, pepper, cedarwood, and sweet dark fruit. Palate is refined with rich dark fruit. A bit oaky. And the finish is slightly short. Needs plenty of time. Still very tannic

  7/22/2016 - Charlie Carnes Does not like this wine:

  These are and have been pedestrian at best. This last bottle was the better of the first four I have tried. With that said it was total work and I was only able to force down about a glass over a two day period. There is some Barolo-ish fruit and a hint of Autumn, but it is so firm and chock fill of edgy harsh tannins or other compounds, that render the wine dried out and severe.

  Robert Parker Piedmont MasterClass (Singapore): Lots of fruits and earthy notes. Slight heat seems to cause some sweetness. After a few sips, it becomes better and very interesting. Rather disappoint at first but guess it needs more time.

  Robert Parker Grand World Tour, Piedmont Masterclass (Singapore): Roberto Voerzio is a legend of low yields and new approach in Piedmont. This wine exists in Magnum only. Dark garnet. Expressive nose of dark fruit, plum, black berry, leather and mint. Very different than the other Baroli, more ripeness but not overripe/oxidative. On the palate medium-full bodied soft and round, easy to drink. Usually I am not a fan of fuller/riper wine but here in Barolo where sinewy and tanninc wines sometimes tend to be the problem, swinging the pendulum a bit more to the other side is actually a good thing. This was the WOTN for me. Impressive!
