Note di degustazione
(bottled in magnums): Good bright, deep red. Aromas of currant, truffle and earth. At once powerful and sweet, offering a tactile, chewy texture to its flavors of red berries, truffle and mocha. This big boy boasts a serious tannic structure for further evolution in bottle but shows the pliancy and enticing perfumed character of the best 2004s.

This wine was tasted in a magnum. The 2004 Barolo Riserva Vigneto Campe is made with fruit from the highest part of the hill. Luscious and bright, this deeply textured wine puts on a fascinating array of ever-changing aromas. You get licorice, pipe tobacco, black fruit, cassis, tar, rosehip and dried herb. The excellent 2004 vintage has shaped silky, long tannins with the backbone to carry the wine throughout the years. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035. Giorgio Rivetti has unveiled a stunning line of new wines, and a few surprises as well, from his impeccable winery and tasting room at the foot of the Grinzane Cavour castle. The line of Riserva Barbarescos and Riserva Barolo will only be bottled in magnums in the best vintages. The year 2004 is the inaugural vintage of these special releases. Giorgio purchased a beautiful estate in the Grinzane Cavour estate for making Barolo. His vineyard graces a dome-shaped hill and is planted with 55- to 60-year-old Nebbiolo vines.

The 2004 Barolo Campe Riserva is noticeably fresher and more vibrant than the non-riserva Barolo. The wine’s telltale overripe aromatics are present, bu here they meld seamlessly into a palate of sweet perfumed fruit. The finessed tannins are well-integrated and help to balance the wine with exquisite grace. This is a superb effort from Giorgio Rivetti. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. Giorgio Rivetti has another set of very solid wines on his hands with his 2005 Barbarescos. The wines have always shown terrific balance and are just a notch or two below his 2004s.

The 2004 Barolo Riserva Campè is deeper, richer and darker than the straight Campè bottling. Interestingly, the French oak is also better balanced. Today, the 2004 boasts considerable intensity and resonance, both of which suggest it will drink well for a number of years. All the elements are very nicely balanced in an opulent, lush Barolo built on texture.
