Barolo, Brunate, 2006
One of the vintage's highest performers, more immediate and open than the mighty Cerequio but every bit as complex, this is both charming and serious, a wine of staggering length, spicy herbal and opulent brambly fruit, notes of wild thyme, oregano, dark chocolate, minerals finishing on bitter sweet damson notes, multi-layered and eternally expansive, stunning.
critic reviews
The 2006 Barolo Brunate flows from the glass with a powerful, brooding expression of fruit. As is often the case, the Brunate presents dark, burnished tones that are a marvel to behold. The wine's stunning depth and richness caress the palate all the way through to a mineral-infused harmonious finish. This is another fantastic Barolo from Roberto Voerzio loaded with vintage and vineyard character. It is not to be missed.
