Note di degustazione
Moderately saturated medium red. Classic austere Barolo aromas of black cherry, menthol, mint and dark chocolate, with a liqueur-like suggestion of the vintage. Very rich and sweet, with superripe flavors of dark berries and spices. A high-toned, rather old-style Barolo, finishing with huge but ripe tannins and a slightly clenched quality. Compared to the Villero, this seems much more dominated by the vintage. Will it hold its fruit with extended bottle aging?

The 2007 Barolo Garblét Sue' is another stunning wine. This vineyard seldom yields wines without firm tannins and slightly angular contours, so the even warmth of the year is especially beneficial here. Smoke, tar, iron, roses and dark red fruit are woven together in a muscular, virile style that is striking. The finish shows fabulous intensity, drive and focus, virtually covering the tannins. It is simply dazzling.

It is simply dazzling. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032. Brovia’s 2007 Baroli are just as impressive from bottle as they were when I tasted them from barrel late last year. The straight Barolo is always the last to be bottled. I will report on that wine as soon as I have had a chance to taste it. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchants, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990
The 2007 Barolo Garblèt Sue' bursts from the glass with an exotic array of blackberries, blueberries, flowers, violets and minerals. The 2007 shows much more fruit and depth than is often the case in this Barolo, which can at times be fiercely tannic.
