The 2000 Barolo, spicy, medium-weight, and round, is boosted by some muscular tannins and a forceful finish. It can be drunk over the next 10 years.

(a blend of numerous parcels) Good medium red. Aromatic nose dominated by cassis and blackberry. High-toned and a bit warm in the mouth, with modest complexity and flavor intensity. Can't match Scavino's other 2000s for mid-palate sweetness and finishes with a slight dry edge.
Mid ruby – a bit soapy on the nose. Good chunky mouthful. Very sweet start and then a sudden chewiness. Very slight hole in the middle. (JR)
