"The 2005 Barolo Villero is a big, powerful wine with the ample frame and broad shoulders that are its signatures. As always, the Villero is not an easy Barolo, but rather a wine built on structure and intensity that still needs time to start resolving. Hints of lavender, spice, new leather and dark stone fruits are fused into the explosive, resonant finish. This classically austere Barolo will require patience and an affinity for tense, powerful wines, but it is a real beauty." -Antonio Galloni
