2003 Barolo Falletto - Falletto del Serralunga
Varietal: Nebbiolo 100%
Tasting notes / Reviews: Garnet red colour with orange reflections. Ample and complex bouquet with notes recalling truffle and liquorice. In the mouth it feels dry, full and velvety, unfolding a great personality.
"Giacosa’s 2003 Barolo Falletto is made in an especially weighty, super-ripe style. It offers notable length but shows the adverse effects of the heat, especially on the finish. The Falletto has shut down considerably since bottling, making it hard to evaluate today. It was much more open when I tasted it last year. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019." 91 pts Antonio Galloni , Wine Advocate .
"Shows dried cherry and plum character, with just a hint of rose petal. Full-bodied, with very silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Still tight, yet balanced. Needs time to open. Best after 2011." 90 pts James Suckling, Wine Spectator , Oct. 15, 2007
