The 2001 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate (magnum) has also held up beautifully. It shows the characteristic muscle of these sites. Dark fruit, leather, licorice, mint and eucalyptus flow through to the virile, imposing finish. The wine’s intensity and breadth are both deeply impressive. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2026.
Contrary to the vast majority of growers, Roberto Voerzio has always maintained that 2000 was a better vintage for him than 2001. After having tasted both vintages extensively over the last few years, its pretty clear Voerzio is right. The 2001s haven’t held up as well as the 2000s I reviewed last year and are developing at a faster pace. Not surprisingly, both of the Baroli Voerzio bottles only in magnum have developed particularly gracefully.
