A quick look back the archive suggest that we so far this year have not drunk a single Barolo. Time for repentance and restoration in other words.
We bought upon us by Schiavenzas Broglio Riserva 2004 but have not tasted yet, Prapò Riserva were tested before Christmas and was building up expectations for substantial rotation brother.
Broglio is a very small winery, not far from downtown Serralunga, which extends away to Ornato. The wines from here tend to be really smart when years have been good, and 2004 may well plainly regarded as such. We pour on the carafe and run away, and shopping.
While lamb outer fillets to revel with banked rosemary, lemon and garlic and we'll take us than it is now easy aired Broglio-riservan. Extremely dark sidenröd with almost black reflections boasts on the glass. We note that we are dealing with a wine that offers itself and eases the veil - intense stone fruit perfume, amarena and furniture polish. Cherry Fruit is really concentrated and is surrounded by slender strings of sunny shingle roofs, plaster dry lime and nutmeg and other delicious krydderier. This is very powerful but noble and stylish.
Tanninstrukturen is young, on the verge of a minor, and hot-tempered with an ability to and cling to the gums and grab the cheeks and mouth. Acids covering the whole range from the treble zing to an orange-toned citrus spectrum in the midrange. The aftertaste is impressively long and majestic. Certainly it is far too young to drink now but it brings clearly a fetishistic pleasure already today - so well composed and structured with a very bright future ahead of him.
Prapò-riservan was more considerate, neat and subtle while Broglion is powerful, extroverted and distinct - Prapò is Dave Brubeck while Broglio is like Keith Jarrett .
Broglio Riserva 2004 is a Barolo that lirar in the highest league, one of the most powerful young riserva we've ever tasted, and that simultaneously radiates elegance and balance, moreover, it will only get better and better over the next few decades.
Carlo Merolli sells both Prapò and Broglio Riserva 2004 for 299 SEK - two very different Barolo and in both cases copiously much wine for the money!
