The 2001 Barolo Brunate is thrilling. Rich, round and totally seamless, the Brunate is another wine whose best days lie ahead. Dark red cherries, plums, spices and menthol flesh out beautifully on the mid-palate and finish. The Brunate remains young. It can be enjoyed today, but it is really in need of further cellaring for those who appreciate the full breadth of what Nebbiolo can offer. I can’t wait to taste this again in a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2026. Elio Altare describes 2001 as a strong vintage with an early September rain that arrived at just the right moment. Over the years I have had the privilege to taste just about every wine made here. I have always been impressed with the ageworthiness of Altare’s Baroli, and his other wines, too, to tell the truth. These 2001 Baroli are all exceptional. I am thrilled to have a few bottles left. Various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
