To celebrate 35 years of
the label "Barolo Parusso Armando" - since 1971 the company began making
wine on its own - the family decided to produce the 2005 vintage, as well as did
Mr. Armando, combining the single vineyards - Mariondino in Castiglione Falletto,
Bussia, Mosconi and Coste in Monforte - to create a single Barolo.
The nose begins orderly and
polished, with some vanilla and sweet nuances, only to suffer the recall of vegetable
and floral traits, specifically earth, underbrush and pink. Just a little bit
of oxygenation launches, direct and clean, the fruity ingredients - blueberry
and raspberry, orange and cherry - and a clear menthol and spicy refining the
bouquet.
By the taste, I tell you that played his best cards already. Tasting proves
more introverted, more elusive. Has indeed abandoned the tannic severity, becoming
supple, however, can’t pulls out all that I had learned by the olfactory progression.
The freshness remains good, with decent power, but a little complexity.
I'll be curious to open, further,
another still available bottle, even if the skepticism I have with this
vintage, complicated and enigmatic, it will be hard to overturn.
