Note di degustazione
Crushed flowers, tobacco, mint, dried herbs and cherries meld together in the glass in the 2003 Barolo Brunate. The tannins have softened nicely in an attractive, perfumed Barolo that should drink well for another decade or so. Today, the 2003 is delicate, subtle and very pretty. The firm 2003 tannins should help it keep for another handful of years, if not longer.

La Morra. Dried fruit with hints of tar. Very ripe and concentrated but strikes a balance with the integrated acidity and firm tannins. Some complexity on the finish. (WS)
Medium red with an amber rim. Expressive aromas of mocha, truffle and brown spices. Fatter, sweeter and silkier than La Serra, with a nutty quality that reminded me of a maturing, traditionally styled Barolo. Impressively silky and round, with plenty of material to support its relatively fine tannins and elevated alcohol. Broad and ripe for the year; in fact, this makes La Serra seem dry in comparison.
The 2003 Barolo Brunate reveals a darker color and weightier personality in its expression of dark fruit, leather, spices, beef bouillon and coffee beans. Although an attractive wine, it is not especially fresh and looks to be on a relatively fast aging curve. this is a solid effort from Marcarini, even if most estates with holdings in Brunate achieved a higher level in 2003, a vintage in which this h istoric, fabled vineyard was particularly advantaged.
