WA 92-95 (8/1999): The 1996 Barolo Villero should be used to teach a course in what great Barolo smells like. It possesses a classic, rose petal, melted tar, and cherry liqueur-scented nose that soars from the glass. In the mouth, it exhibits licorice, black cherry fruit, fruitcake, spice box, and other assorted nuances in its profoundly complex personality. Full-bodied and marvelously concentrated with exquisite harmony, this appears to be a fabulously young Barolo that will age effortlessly for three decades. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2035.
VM 94 (12/2000): Medium-deep red. Fruit-driven aromas of strawberry, cherry and leather. Very rich and thick, with explosive, thoroughly ripe red fruit flavors. Impressively concentrated. Finishes with big, dusty, broad tannins and superb length. Built to age, but not especially austere today owing to its compelling sweetness of fruit. |
