The 2005 Barolo is a very pretty wine made in an ethereal, soft style. Pretty notes of dark cherries, leather, licorice and sweet spices come together in a wine of unusual grace at this level. The wine shows no hard edges and a pure, fresh finish. This is an excellent choice for near-term drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. This is a beautiful set of wines from brothers Franco and Roberto Massolino. These Barolos offer gorgeous balance in the mid-weight style of the vintage. There will also be a 2005 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda, but that wine won’t be ready for several years.Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799

This is so pure and beautiful on the nose, with strawberry and raspberry character. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and pretty fruit in reserve. Long and silky. A beautiful blended Barolo. Best after 2012. 1,800 cases made, 750 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Tasted very young, this wine shows raw tones of wild berry and underbrush. It is executed in a compact, traditional style and offers bright vanilla flavors that are accented by chopped herbs, licorice and mint. Wait for this wine to mature five years or more and drink with lamb and mint chutney.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 88
