Elio Grasso Runcot Barolo 2001 Barolo Piedmont 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Antonio Galloni: The 2001 Barolo Runcot is the darkest of these
2001 Barolos. It opens with a deeply spiced nose that is followed
by intense sweet dark fruit and toasted oak flavors that are
beautifully integrated in a sleek, elegant interpretation of Barolo
from Monforte. Exquisitely well-balanced, this superb Barolo will
be at its best in a few years and will provide great drinking to
age 15, perhaps more. In 2001 the Runcot saw 40 days of maceration
on the skins followed by 36 months of aging in 100% new oak
barrels. That said, the 2001 signals a new level of maturity here
as a reduction in toast levels has proven to be a good decision and
this 2001 shows much greater clarity and definition than the 2000.
