Note di degustazione
Voerzio no longer makes his Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate. The 2004 is a great reminder of just how fabulous this wine was. A huge, vertical wine, the 2004 boasts magnificent depth and overall intensity. The flavors are boldly sketched in a dramatic Barolo built on pure muscle. A host of black cherry, cloves, smoke, menthol, tar and blackberry jam flow through to the intense finish. Beguiling and powerful, the 2004 will provide fascinating drinking for the next 10-15 years, perhaps longer. Of all the 2004s here, this is the wine that has had the most positive evolution in bottle.

The 2004 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate, tasted from magnum, reveals incredibly density, energy and finesse. The wine has begun to develop quite a bit of complexity since I last tasted it and also appear to be putting on additional weight. A deeply expressive bouquet of truffles, licorice and flowers leads to dark, mineral-laced fruit. This is a great showing for the Capalot. Recent bottles of the 2004 Cerequio and Sarmassa have also lived up to the glowing scores I bestowed upon them a few years ago.
The sumptuous 2004 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate is fresh and vibrant, with layers of dark fruit that flow from the glass. As it sits in the glass the balsamic, mentholated notes that are characteristic of this wine gradually emerge, along with an attractive spiciness that frames the fruit. It is a weighty, structured Barolo that will require patience, yet it is spectacular today.
