Already noted as a top contender for the vintage of the century (thus far), there is no better year to launch the CB foray into Barolo than this year. The wine is big, bursting with aromatics of rose petals, orange bread, classic blacktop, and all kinds of hillside herbs one finds along the winding rods of the Langhe. The region is among the most beautiful places on earth (maybe the most attractive for me), and this Barolo is grown along the lovely winding curves near the winery. There isn’t much on the market for the price that can hold its own here. This is NOT an entry-level wine. This is a world-class bottling that deserves your attention and patience. Give this at least six months if possible, but it will be better in five-plus years.
