2007 Barolo Arborina

Tasting notes
Dark red. Very ripe aromas of singed plum, blackberry, cherry and brown spices. Sweet, lush and very ripe, with a slightly roasted fruit character but also more energy and definition than the basic Barolo release. Finishes firmer and longer but without the nuance for an even higher score.

The 2007 Barolo Arborina shows fabulous intensity and integrity in its dark red fruit. Higher toned, floral notes emerge over time adding further lift and brightness. The finish is round, harmonious and totally engaging. This is another standout from Giuliano Corino.

Proprietor Giuliano Corino has a stunning set of 2007 Baroli on his hands. The wines capture the ripe, open style of the vintage while preserving considerable freshness, aromatic complexity and structure. These are wonderfully complete Baroli that merit serious consideration. I expect most of the wines will drink well with a minium of cellaring, and continue to develop complexity with further time in bottle.
