Vietti - Barolo Brunate 2017 (1.5L)
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
A release of 4981 bottles the Vietti 2017 Barolo Brunate is beautifully rich and fleshed out with balanced fruit weight and inner structure. The bouquet reveals tart cherry and cassis but the Brunate also shows a more delicate side with crushed flowers dried violet and polished stone. The power of this cru creeps up on the palate where you feel the tightness of its fiber and tannins. Following that delicate aromatic preface this Barolo ultimately delivers a strong cellar-worthy performance.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2017 Barolo Brunate is a powerful brooding wine. Huge dark fruit leather spice menthol and dried herbs all build in a potent Barolo that is enshrouded by tannins. The 2017 is going to need quite a bit of time in the cellar. Today it is very much a brooding powerhouse. Dark wild cherry licorice tar menthol and spice take shape in the glass but the 2017 is clearly an infant and an unruly one at that. (Drink between 2025-2042)
