Deep red. Superripe but reticent aromas of redcurrant, gunflint, mocha and humus. Very sweet, full and dense but very closed today. Lovely insinuating vinosity. Quite classic, especially in light of the extreme ripeness of the '97 vintage. Offers more stuffing and dimension than La Serra. Finishes very long and subtle, with the thoroughly buffered but substantial tannins hitting the palate quite late.

A perfumed Barolo, with glorious tanned leather, Indian spice and plum aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins, fresh acidity and a long, long finish. A top traditional Barolo. Best after 2005. 2,275 cases made. –JS
