from two vineyards with stone terraces at Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos

cassis and plum

Round yet tightly grained tannins and an incredibly persistent finish

This is a lovely wine of distinction balance and harmony that is built to age over the next decade or so as the underlying material is superb

Marcarini, Barolo Brunate other_regions_italy from two vineyards with stoneMarcarini's 2004 Barolo Brunate has aged well, but it hasn't really blossomed into a truly special wine, as so many Barolos from this vintage have. If opened now, the 2004 needs a few hours of air for the tannins to soften. The lifted, slightly fleeting, ethereal finish is classic La Serra. Antonio Galloni
