97 AG. "Sensual, silky and totally alluring, the 2004 Barolo is another wine that is a picture-perfect example of its vintage. The aromatics alone are captivating, but it is the wine’s total balance that places it in the upper echelon. After some of the ups and downs of the 1980s and 1990s’ wines, the 2004 really shows where the estate is today in terms of quality. This wine was tasted as part of a vertical tasting held in London in April 2016. The wines were arranged in five thematic flights. This flight of four relatively recent releases provides a tremendous opportunity to see the estate at its current level of excellence." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Apr 2016 |
