2004 Guidobono Barolo    88 pts
The 2004 Barolo from Guidobono is a big, sturdy offering packed with ripe dark fruit, menthol, spices and licorice. Although the wine opens up prettily in the glass and offers good depth, the tannins remain somewhat large-grained and rustic. Still, this is a promising effort, and a few years in bottle should help the wine find slightly better balance than where it is today.
Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019.

2005 Guidobono Barolo   89pts   The 2005 Barolo offers up floral red fruits, spices, menthol and tobacco in a medium-bodied style.
