Barolo, Prunotto 2006 (750 ml)

92 poena – The Wine Advocate

Tradicionalni Barolo, jedno od istorijskih vina vinarije Prunotto, čija je prva berba proizvedena još 1905. godine, od najboljeg grožđa iz vinograda u srcu Barolo apelacije. Dozrijevanje se odvija u velikim hrastovim bačvama različitih veličina, što dodatno naglašava izuzetnu tipičnost sorte Nebbiolo u ovom regionu.

Optimalni period za konzumaciju ovog vina procijenjen je između 2016. i 2026. godine, tako da je sada otprilike na vrhuncu svog razvoja. Šteta je što – u trenutku pisanja ove bilješke – preostaje samo 6 boca.

Berba iz 2006. godine bila je nesumnjivo izvanredna u Barolu, a ovo vino se posebno istaklo unutar te godine, često opisivano kao "overachiever". Tamne višnje, šljive, nana, začini, ljekovito bilje i čitav niz balzamičnih nota čine njegov aromatsko-ukusni profil.  Raskošno vino sa dugom završnicom koje svakako treba uživati što prije.

92 points - The Wine Advocate

A traditional Barolo, one of Prunotto’s historic labels, whose first vintage was produced in 1905 from the best grapes of the vineyards in the heart of the Barolo appellation. Aging takes place in large oak barrels of various sizes, further enhancing the extraordinary typicity of Nebbiolo in this region.  

The optimal drinking window for this wine was estimated to be fro 2016 to 2026 so it's now more or less at its peak evolution.  What a shame that - as at the time of writing this note - there are only 6 bottles left.  2006 was definitely an excellent vintage in Barolo, and this particular wine has been called an overachiever within in. Dark cherries, plums, mint, spices, herbs and a host of other balsamic comprise its flavour profile.  It's a rich wine with a long finish and is definitely to be enjoyed sooner than later.
