The 1989 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis San Giuseppe is utterly compelling. Dark fruit, spices, soy and minerals are some of the nuances that emerge from this beautifully delineated, powerful Barolo. The wine possesses superb harmony in an expression of fruit that continues to blossom on the palate. As is often the case, in 1989 the San Giuseppe is fresher than the Vignolo, and it should continue to offer splendid drinking for another decade or so.

The 1989 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis San Giuseppe is utterly compelling. Dark fruit, spices, soy and minerals are some of the nuances that emerge from this beautifully delineated, powerful Barolo. The wine possesses superb harmony in an expression of fruit that continues to blossom on the palate. As is often the case, in 1989 the San Giuseppe is fresher than the Vignolo, and it should continue to offer splendid drinking for another decade or so. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Cavallotto is experiencing a much-deserved resurgence in popularity, but the truth is that the wines have been outstanding for many years. The estate has recently re-released a number of their older vintages at prices that are exceedingly fair considering the quality and provenance of the wines. Cavallotto works with two vineyards, both in Castiglione Falletto, for their Riservas. Vignolo generally yields perfumed, elegant, feminine Barolos, while the San Giuseppe parcel in the family’s near-monopole Bricco Boschis typically produces a firmer, darker and sturdier Barolo. Vinification and aging are traditional; in fact Cavallotto is among the last producers to bottle and release their Barolos.

The estate's 1989 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe presents the quintessential expression of tar and roses. This exquisite Barolo offers the sweetness and richness of the 1985 allied to the more classic structure of the 1982, with remarkable intensity as well as balance. The aromatics are captivating, the flavors well-defined, and everything is simply in the right place in this beautiful, highly pleasurable, contemplative Barolo.
These 1989 and 1990 Barolos are a reminder of why we go to the trouble of finding and aging the area's best wines…. 1989 Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe—More evolved on the nose than the 1990, yet still fresh, with notes of flowers, violets, licorice, tar and cocoa. Richer and fatter on the palate than the 1990, with massive structure and length on the palate. Immensely enjoyable.
