**2005 BAROLO SALE/PRE-SALE**
Once again, another great vintage for Barolo!
But don't just take our word for it. Here is what The Wine Advocate has to say:
“……So, how are the wines? The answer is far better than I originally expected. The firm tannins the wines showed a few years ago have in many cases softened and the top wines are gorgeous. This is a medium-bodied style of Barolo, with about 1% less alcohol than has become common over recent years. To consumers who have been buying Piedmont wines for several decades, the wines will feel quite classic. In some ways 2005 reminds me of 1979, a vintage of smaller-scaled wines that were largely overlooked on the heels of the monumental 1978s, but that have aged beautifully. In terms of more recent years, 2005 reminds me most of 1993, a vintage in which the wines have developed nicely and are beginning to reach their maximum expression. The 2005s appear to be relatively early-drinking Barolos. Most of the better wines should peak around age 15 in terms of their development, but may continue to hold for sometime thereafter, as the acidities are slightly higher than normal. Readers who love the great Barolos of Piedmont should be enthusiastic about the prospects of a high-quality vintage where the wines won’t require decades of aging prior to reaching maturity.
As I alluded to above, Barolo once again finds itself with another string of potentially outstanding harvests spanning 2004-2008, recalling the unprecedented series of strong vintages from 1996 to 2001……”
