1999 Ettore Germano Barolo Prapo'

The 1999 Barolo Prapo, cask aged, with attractive spice and caramel on the nose and good length and vigor on the palate, is a bit tightly wound, slightly dry and aggressive on the finish. I may be underestimating this wine, but the toughness of the tannins is a bit worrisome. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2016. Importer: Vinilandia, USA, Amesbury, MA; tel. (978) 388-8031
