Note di degustazione
The 2004 Barolo Arborina has developed nicely in bottle. There is a sense of translucent energy in the 2004 that is quite appealing. Scents of white truffle, smoke, plums and new leather meld into the finish. The 2004 has lost some of its youthful exuberance. Today, it is the wine's freshness - an Arborina signature - that comes through above all else.

The 2004 Barolo Arborina presents a very typical profile of candied cherries, menthol, spices and sweet toasted oak. Initially quite clenched, the wine opens beautifully with air, revealing terrific depth and the firmer tannins that are characteristic of this site. This perfumed, fresh Barolo still needs at least another few years in bottle to come together. It is made from a south-west facing plot in the vineyard.
The 2004 Barolo Vigna Arborina presents a very typical profile of candied cherries, menthol, spices and sweet toasted oak. Initially quite clenched, the wine opens beautifully with air, revealing terrific depth and the firmer tannins that are characteristic of this site. This perfumed, fresh Barolo still needs at least another few years in bottle to come together. It is made from a southwest facing plot in the vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2024. This is the first vintage Giuliano Corino has made on his own, and a distinct style is beginning to emerge. He appears to favor a more elegant, restrained approach while his brother Renato’s wines are decidedly riper and more exuberant, very much like their personalities.

Good full red. Knockout Barolo perfume offers currant, brown spices, leather and dried flowers. Sweet, lush and concentrated; even smoother and more pliant than the Giachini. A very round, fine-grained wine with enticing suggestions of brown spice and flowers. Finishes long and complex, with red fruit flavors complicated by woodsy underbrush.
