I enjoyed this but it’s probably the other end of the style of barolo that I like because I thought it was probably quite heavy on the oak. Either way it had a powerful coil of dark fruit. I dont think there’s any rush to drink but I think this may have been better drink earlier. Tricky to know where to drink barolo because I don’t think it’s aging trajecotry/profile is the same as bdx.

Decanted 3 hours. This is still alive, I would say 2 or 3 years of life left. Tannins are soft and integrated, this is a nice Barolo from a great 2001 vintage which is drinking great now. It is the best wine from Rocche di Costamagna (Bricco Francesco) only from the best vintages. Good value for its price

Bra Barolo som er ok moden nå, men fremstår fortsatt som noe ung. God nå, men blir nok enda bedre om 2-3 år.
