"Tasted from magnum, the 2005 Barolo Riserva Vigneto CampŠ Vrs" exhibits a dark, brooding and impenetrable personality. This is a broad and sweeping expression of Nebbiolo that rests on big shoulders and significant muscle mass. The nose is redolent of black fruit, blackberry preserves, tar, licorice, brown sugar, pipe tobacco and white truffle. It is structured and firm on the palate, but it also imparts velvety softness and silkiness. This wine offers a complete package and reveals a fascinating view onto ten-year-old Barolo that was specifically engineered for aging in magnum. The brightness and freshness of the wine makes it feel ten years younger."
