Note di degustazione
Medium ruby. This Barolo displays attractive notes of licorice, tar, smoke and very ripe dark fruit with excellent length although it remains somewhat overwhelmed by the 100% new oak and seems to lack balance. It is need of at least a few additional years of cellaring after which it will drink well to age 20.

The 1999 Barolo Vigna Cappella di Santo Stefano, is dark and fresh in tonality, and its plum, raisin, and raspberry aromas, though amply laced with vanilla, are in good balance with the oak. Supple, concentrated, and balanced, its fine density and velvet texture on the close are the signs of superior fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. Importer: Robert Chadderdon, New York, NY; tel.

Deep red. Complex aromas of red fruits, smoky oak and woodsy underbrush. Vinous and delineated but quite closed in the middle palate, showing limited sweetness today. In a distinctly awkward, tough phase, with some drying oak tannins dominating the wine's finish.
