1997 Vietti Villero Barolo Riserva DOCG 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95

The 1997 Barolo Riserva Villero is at the early part of its drinking window. It shows drop-dead gorgeous intensity and marvelous inner perfume, all supported by plenty of tannic heft. This is pure Villero and pure 1997, both at their very best. The fruit builds with considerable momentum to the glorious finish. The 1997 is another wine in which only one of the two Villero parcels was vinified. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. [30/09/2011]
