Scavino's 1999 Barolo Carobric explodes from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, mint, licorice and sweet tobacco. Impeccable and layered, the 1999 impresses for its exceptional balance and pure sensuality. In magnum, the Carobric is still very, very young. Readers lucky enough to own it are in for a real treat. This is a dazzling, total mesmerizing Barolo from the Scavino family.

On this day the 1999 Carobric enjoyed an especially strong showing, with captivating, well-delineated layers of flowers, menthol, cocoa and ripe dark fruit coating the palate in a powerful display of elegance and power. Still tightly coiled, this powerhouse, structured Barolo offers plenty of vintage 1999 character as well as style. It needs time in the cellar and I wouldn't be surprised to see it still going strong at age 25.
Dark ruby. The Carobric, on the other hand, is a brooding, powerful Barolo. It displays aromas of cocoa, menthol and flowers along with a tightly- wound core of fruit on a richly structured frame. Though it hints at greater delineation than the 1998 in its deep expressiveness, it is still showing precious little on this day. Several years of cellaring are advised, after which this Barolo should drink well to age 20.
The 1999 Barolo Carobric, shows more fruit and varietal Nebbiolo personality than Cannubi, much volume and roundness of flavor, anise and mineral notes, and an important dimension and depth. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
