A very pretty wine, with delicate aromas of spices, flowers and very ripe fruit. Comes across as simple compared to the other wines. Remains very backward and austere for the vintage.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2004-2015, Robert Parker, Oct 2001
This wine is closed at present, so it ultimately may merit an even higher rating. Sweet and elegant, as well as complex, the dark ruby-colored 1997 Barolo Brunate reveals aromas of cigar box and cherry jam as well as a sweet attack with notes of minerals, subtle spicy wood, firm tannin, and medium to full body. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015. Importer: Neil Empson, Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
