A very pretty nose offers up notes of essence of pear

There is enormous depth to this voluminous Malartic-Lagravière

As is typically the case there is more volume and midpalate concentration to the focused medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by somewhat finer tannins on the lacy and impressively refined finale

This is Hubert de Boüard's top wine from his Lalande de Pomerol property

Giovanni Corino, Barolo Giachini Vintage:2005 A very pretty nose offersCorino's 2003 Barolo is fresher on the palate than it is on the bouquet, where the aromatics are a bit more forward. This is a pretty Barolo that should stay at a plateau of maturity for at least a few years. In this tasting, the Giachini is not as impressive as it has been in the past. I would not be surprised if this is a less than perfect example. Antonio Galloni
