black and blue fruits plus a lovely hint of violets that sit atop dusty

The 2006 Barolos are nothing short of spectacular and the 2007s may be even better

Marengo, Barolo Brunate other_regions black and blue fruits plusThe 2004 Barolo Brunate is approaching an early plateau of maturity. Deep and pliant on the palate, the 2004 possesses striking depth, fabulous balance and sense of resonance that is hugely appealing. Dried rose petal, sage, mint and crushed raspberries meld into the soft, succulent finish. This is a lovely showing. Antonio Galloni
