Barolo, Brunate, 1996

critic reviews

96/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 1996 Barolo Brunate has aged more gracefully than the Cerequio and has also handled its oak better. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and sweet spices infuse the creamy, expansive finish. Dark, brooding and explosive, the 1996 Brunate is superb.

92-95/100Robert Parker,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The fabulous, black/purple-colored 1996 Barolo Brunate is gigantic. Monstrously-sized, with huge alcohol, high tannin, and spectacular extract, this layered, chewy wine is sensationally promising. Although stubbornly backward, it possesses wonderful ripeness, but this wine is so huge it needs 5-6 years to evolve. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030. Importer: Viva Vino, Eddystone, PA; tel. (610) 872-1500
