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

deep and palate staining finish

The palate is slow to unfold

This terrific effort is very clearly built-to-age yet could probably be enjoyed after only 5-ish years

Giovanni Corino, Barolo Giachini Vintage:2005 This is Hubert de Boüard'sCorino'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
