Tasting notes
Massolino's 2003 Barolo is a beautiful wine. Medium in body and gracious to the core, the 2003 is laced with sweet tobacco, crushed herbs, licorice and orange peel. The 2003 has reached its tenth birthday in style, but it is also approaching maturity, so any remaining bottles are best enjoyed sooner rather than later.

Massolino decided against bottling their single-vineyard Barolos in 2003, opting instead for a blend, which consumers will be able to enjoy at a very reasonable price considering today's market environment. The estate's 2003 Barolo is made in a soft approachable style. It reveals notable depth in its core of vibrant black cherries with lovely purity and well-integrated tannins. this is a terrific effort from Massolino.
