2004 Mauro Veglio Barolo Castelletto (Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo)


Interestingly, this has changed since I last had it a year ago. The wine has gotten leaner, and the oak has mellowed out some, but there's still a lot of fruit and extraction. It also still seems a little unfocused and a tad too easygoing. That said, I am beginning to see some promise here with some more complexity developing. Leather, earth, and hints of wet leaves...This was actually fun to drink and went well with food. I still would not recommend to anyone to run out to buy it, but if you can pick it up pretty inexpensively, it is worth a try.
