The 2000 Barolo Vigna Elena is better than the regular bottling, more forceful on the nose and with some interesting notes of licorice, dried roses, and wild mushrooms. The palate here is denser and longer than the Barolo Ravera, but it, too, is a bit tough and unyielding on the close. Drink: 2006-2016.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
