The 2004 Barolo Falletto di Serralunga d’Alba soars from the moment it is served. Sensual and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2004 offers up a heady mélange of dark-toned fruit, leather, cedar, tobacco and spice box. At nearly 20 years of age, the 2004 remains magnificent. When all is said and done, 2004 ranks among Bruno Giacosa’s greatest vintages for the quality and number of epic wines he made. Drink 2023-2044.
So floral and beautiful with roses and lilacs. Hints of plums and strawberries. Full-bodied, with ultra fine tannins and a subtle yet intense finish of hazelnut and dark fruits. Goes on for ages. Better after 2016.
Giacosa's 2004 Barolo Falletto is so compelling it will be hard not to drink it in its youth. This gorgeous Barolo reveals a deeply structured frame layered with sweet dark fruit, mint, spice and pine. At once delicate and powerful, it is a beautifully finessed wine that is sure to provide much pleasure. A recent bottle of the 1982 is a testament to the virtues of this great site as interpreted by Bruno Giacosa. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
