Barolo Monfalletto 1997 Cordero di Montezemolo

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

A well-respected La Morra producer, Codero's 1997 Barolo Monfalletto is a soft, structured offering with muscular, earthy, licorice, and black cherry aromas as well as flavors. With airing, notes of chocolate, truffles, meat, and pepper emerge. Muscular and rustic, but substantial and rich on the palate, it requires several years of cellaring.

As black as the darkest ink, this oaky Barbera is impressive for its velvety texture, smoky, spicy, tarry notes and nice black fruit character. Full-bodied and balanced, the ripe tannins can't fail to impress. So sweet, it almost tastes as if it had residual sugar. A showy wine, with an opulent finish.
