  Still pretty taught even 16 years in. Italians like to go the distance. Super dry, tannic. But in a good way.

  Decanted for a good 30 minutes, helpful but not essential.
  2004 Barolo for us is where the modernists or semi modernists got it right, aided by a ripe vintage and not compelled to make Parker monsters anymore but still used the modernity in their techniques. And this Campe is in tune. Ripe, dark cherry starts the party, soft tar too. The the palate is full on but also elegant and restraint and this is really just about kicking into its full stride. Tannin is round but firm and the acidity is just on the money. Solid 93-94

  Incredible how young and enjoyable this wine was, decanted for 30minutes... Enjoy now or for more 15 years

  Enjoyed at El Gaucho. Approx 1 hour decant. Nose: dark cherries, (mr) creosote, pleasant wet sidewalk. Full body, smooth tannins, acidic so needs food, starting to brick but still very bright with flavor so has years ahead of it.

  Aromas of tar, dried roses, dill. Has great complexity on the nose and the mouthfeel is very sexy and modern styled. More solid and longer compared to La Spinetta Barbaresco Gallina. 93++
