Note di degustazione
The 1996 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is a wine for classicists. Aromatic and potent, the 1996 offers up an exciting mélange of dark-fleshed fruit, tobacco, espresso, dried herbs, incense, lavender and rose petal. At nearly 30 years of age, the 1996 is in fine, fine shape. This is just a thundering Barolo.

The first thing that is immediately obvious about the 1996 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is that it is clearly the stylistic heir to the great 1982 and 1989 vintages, which is surely good news for anyone who may be able to still find this wine. It reveals an exciting combination of expressive, perfumed aromatics along with dark cherries, licorice and spices. This is still a very austere Barolo that is in need of further cellaring, but its true potential is becoming clearer with each successive tasting. In time it will take its place among the great San Giuseppes.
Rich saturated ruby. Huge brooding nose of tar, smoke, leather, licorice and wet earth. Dense and austere, this wine is packed with backward sensations of dark fruits on a very sustained palate, finishing with superb freshness. A real beauty. Note: A second bottle seemed to be at an awkward “in between” stage as the wine is settling into maturity, so I would wait a few years before opening.
