The 2007 Barolo Vigna Gallinotto offers up plenty of dark red fruit with notable vibrancy and freshness. Clean, mineral notes frame the long, energetic finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
I was quite taken with the wines I tasted from Molino this year. It’s too soon to tell if these superb Baroli are more the result of the vintage or if they represent a level we can expect from the estate going forward. I hope it is the latter, but whatever the case, these are magnificent wines that readers will want to check out. As always, the Molino Baroli are juicy wines made in a style that is best suited to near and medium term drinking. The percentage of new oak appears to be way down from the recent past.
