Robert Parker: 2003 Barolo Le Vigne—The Le Vigne shows a very typical nose of spices and flowers along with beautifully delineated dark red fruit and mineral flavors, with excellent length. The tannins are in balance here, adding to the overall sense of harmony this wine presents. No doubt the ability to blend wines from different parcels was a huge advantage in this vintage. “In 2003 our ripest fruit came from the Ceretta vineyard (in Serralunga) and we used less of that wine than normal in order to preserve as much freshness as possible,” says Sandrone. (91-94), 11/05
I have been following Luciano Sandrone’s 2003 Barolos for the last two years and the wines have developed very positively over that time. “I have to say I’m pleased with the way our 2003s are evolving.” says Sandrone. “Fortunately we had a little bit of rain towards the end of the growing season. The rain came too late to help the Dolcettos and Barberas, but we waited until early October to pick the Nebbiolos and luckily they had some time to recuperate.” Like his colleagues Sandrone is very happy with 2004, and he has told me on multiple occasions he considers 2004 to be a great vintage. Readers may recall from Issue 2 that Sandrone harvests and vinifies each of the plots within his vineyards separately, with the blending of the component wines taking place during the second year of oak aging. Accordingly, readers should note that the 2003s reviewed below represent the final blends of these Barolos, while the 2004s were tasted as separate components.
