($40; this special bottling, most recently made in vintages 2003 and 2000, will not be offered in 2005 or 2006) Bright ruby. Pungent aromas of currant, cherry, cedar, truffle and leather; this will go underbrushy in a Barolo way with time in bottle. Wonderfully sweet, full and fine-grained, with lovely lift to the crystallized fruit flavors. Finishes with serious sweet, dusty tannins and lovely lift and energy. From 40-year-old south/southeast-facing vines in Serralunga.
