Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric - 2000 (750ml) Gevrey-Chambertin The spicy nose offers aromasThe 2000 Barolo Carobric (magnum) is an exotic, full bodied wine loaded with scorched earth, licorice, tar and smoke, all of which add considerable nuance to a massive core of fruit. This hulking, seamless Barolo is at least a few years from early maturity and should continue to drink well for many, many years. It is simply magnificent. Anticipated maturity: 2015 2030.
