The 2007 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate (magnum) is another drop-dead gorgeous wine. The wine remains rather shy revealing shades of its personality only with great reluctance. A dark sensual Barolo the Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate offers up gorgeous dark fruit menthol spices and minerals in a rich baritone voice. There is a shroud of mysteriousness to the wine I find incredibly appealing. This turns positively explosive on the finish with layers of mineral and balsamic infused fruit that flow through to the powerful yet seamless finish. This is a magnificent effort from Roberto Voerzio but it is the most reticent of these 2007s and will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2032. 96+ -Antonio Galloni

Aromatic and ripe, this red displays cherry, strawberry, tobacco and spice flavors. A note of tar creeps in on the lean, chewy finish. Remains long and fresh, presenting a savory, minerally aftertaste. Best from 2015 through 2028. – BS
