Tasting notes
The 2007 Barolo is incredibly beautiful. It shows gorgeous delineation in its aromas and flavors in a style that is very appealing. There is plenty of fruit in the glass but no signs whatsoever of heaviness. Finessed tannins frame an impeccable finish laced with subtle hints of French oak and spices. This is sweet, round and totally beguiling. It is a dazzling effort at this level.

The Barolo is sweet, round and totally beguiling. It is a dazzling effort at this level. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. Luigi Baudana is one of the great recent success stories in Piedmont. Giuseppe Vajra has totally turned around the quality at this once middle of the road estate since purchasing the winery in 2008. All three of the 2007 Baroli are terrific. The integration of oak and overall balance of the wines has never been better. In short, the Vajras have pretty much blown the roof off the potential at Baudana?.and the wines they have released so far had already been vinified and partly aged when they bought the property.
