A beauty as always. Love the nose here with dried roses and dark fruits. What a nose. Full bodied, with chewy tannins and a loads of fruit and tannins. This is very powerful. Give it another two or three years, but so good now.

Smudgy colour. Alluring sweet violet aromas. Very dry finish. Painfully dry and tart at the moment – like pure walnut skin! I honestly find it very difficult to judge whether the fruit will hold out while those tannins soften. I’m giving the wine the benefit of the doubt. There is some purity here. (JR)
The 2006 Barolo offers up a super-classic profile of tar, roses, raspberries and licorice, all wrapped around a firm core of tannins. Fresh and vibrant throughout, the Barolo impresses for its superb balance and poise. Deceptively medium in body, the wine's richness sneaks up on the mid-palate, gaining more and more volume through to the finish. There is the subtlest hint of French oak that points to the slightly updated style the estate is going for with this bottling, but not enough to detract from the classic feel. This is a magnificent, impeccable Barolo from Pio Cesare, but it will be even better in a few years. The estate's Barolo is made from a number of vineyards in Serralunga, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra and Novello, and other villages. The wine is aged mostly in cask, although 30% sees French oak.
