What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

WA 89 (10/2006): Boasting a potent nose of spices, new oak, sweet fruit and chocolate, the 2000 Barolo Runcot is intense on the palate, with plenty of very ripe dark fruit and toasted oak flavors. Soft and supple, this accessible Barolo is drinking very well today, although the too-sweet fruit and excessive use of new oak threaten to throw it off balance. 2006-2015.

IWC 91 (12/2004): Aromas of raspberry, dried flowers and cedary, spicy oak. Sweet, pliant and deep, with a floral element contributing to an impression of vinosity. Lively flavors of cherry, flowers and cedar. Quite complex on the back end, finishing with big, broad, dusty tannins and lingering notes of truffle and underbrush. I would not have picked this blind as having aged in 100% new barriques.
