Lot #548. Roberto Voerzio Barolo Riserva Capalot e delle Brunate 1997

Description: Consists of 3 Magnums, 1.5L
Packaging: OWC.
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 98 RP.
"The formidable 1997 Barolo Capalot della Brunate Riserva is a candidate for Barolo of the vintage. A massive wine, it exhibits aromas and flavors of vitamins, coffee, chocolate, black cherry liqueur, licorice, and pain grille, a terrific palate entry with oodles of glycerin as well as extract, multiple flavor layers, and sweet tannin in the 60-second finish. There is plenty of tannin lurking beneath the surface, so it, ideally, needs to be aged for 6-7 years. It will age for three decades. This is a tour de force in winemaking." Wine Advocate #135, Jun 2001
Provenance: The Atlantic Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,100
