esbrown reviewed Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo 2000 on October 30, 2006 Only produced in the best years from a vineyard located just to the southwest of Bricco Boschis, this wine had a very deep garnet hue. The nose was similar- deep dark and lovely. Lots of black fruit aromas, along with a note of sage, fresh topsoil and cherry blossom. Almost Amarone-like on the nose, but with lots of perfume. The palate was just about the juiciest burst of black cherries ever, along with rosehip and a super silky feel. Incredibly long, balanced and plush, along with rich and chewy tannins and just a touch of roasted earth. |
