Tasting notes
The 2000 Barolo Ravera appears a bit less ripe than the Brunate with its herb-laced nose and slightly hard, if forceful flavors. There is some margin for future improvement, but the sweetness of fruit and plush texture of the other wines in the line are not here. Drink: 2005-2014. Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel.

(just the second vintage for this bottling) Good medium red. Highly aromatic, complex nose combines cherry, raspberry, leather and game, along with a deep woodsiness. Plush and deep, with nuanced flavors of red fruits, leather, mocha, camphor and marzipan nicely framed by sound acidity. Very showy Barolo with impressive complexity of flavor on the ripely tannic, expanding aftertaste.
