Garnet. Showing lovely mature notes of sous bois and truffle, alongside red fruit and tar. Elegant with fine tannins and balanced acidity. Drink through 2020.

2004 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 91 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Garnet. Cherry, rose, and balsamic notes on the nose. This is still quite closed, with rustic, firm tannins. This still needs time but the fruit is already somewhat faded and there are slight oxidative notes. Borgogno's traditional winemaking style may not prove successful for 2004.

Red berry, rose, and tar are some of the aromas on the open and totally classic Barolo nose. Medium bodied. This wine is open for business. Drink now through 2025.

2006 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 91 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Garnet. Balsamic, rose, and dried cherry on the nose. Dried cherry and earth on the palate hold through to a long finish. This is slightly dried out but nonetheless attractive. Drink through 2030.

2007 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 89 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Ruby. Open knit, floral nose of rose and sweet cherry. Lighter weight, with floral and sweet fruit flavors, this wine is perfectly in line with the 2007 vintage. Drink through 2025.

2008 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 89 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Garnet. Young, reticent nose shows red fruit, tar, and balsamic notes. Cherry and tobacco flavors on the palate. Rich, silky, and supple. Today the 2008 Riserva remains a bit closed.
