"The 2001 Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a gorgeous, silky wine laced with expressive red fruit, flowers, mint and licorice. There is plenty of freshness and vibrancy in the fruit. At the same time, the tannins are so fine that the wine is approcahble today with some air. I imagine the 2001 will provide fabulous drinking for another decade or more. A ripe, silky finish rounds things out in style. In 2001 the Vignolo is all finesse and elegance." -Antonio Galloni
