There is no doubt the 2007 Barolo Campe is impressive. It is a beautifully balanced wine layered with opulent, super-ripe fruit, new leather and licorice. The French oak is beautifully balanced in this broad-shouldered Barolo, while the fruit avoids the overripe tendencies of the past. The wine holds up perfectly in the glass, which hasn’t always been the case. Tar, licorice and spices wrap around the intense finish. This is the finest vintage of Campe to date. Kudos to Giorgio Rivetti and his team for this fabulous effort. To be released in 2012.

Tasting Note
A rangy, feral red, revealing flavors of eucalyptus, medicinal herbs and leather, accented by oak. There’s a beam of black currant fruit underneath, and this has stiff tannins on the finish now, so be patient. Best from 2015 through 2035. 0850 cases made.
