These two Baroli from Borgogno were made by the Boschis brothers prior to Oscar Farinetti's purchase of the estate in 2009. The wines are excellent, but recent vintages show quite a bit more potential. The 1995 Barolo Riserva shows good length and energy. It is a typical 2005 with a slightly compact expression of fruit and plenty of energy. The 2005 doesn't have the structure to be a long term ager but it is quite pretty. Sweet red berries, dried cherries, tobacco, cedar and mint linger on the pointed finish. -- Antonio Galloni
