This parcel of wine and spirits was brought to us by a long-time aficionado, who began collecting wine in 1981. His interest in collecting began during his career, where every successful business closure was celebrated with fine wine. His wines and spirits were purchased through the SAQ, LCBO, and US independent retailers, and were stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar before coming to auction.
The score for 2001 Roberto Voerzio Brunate Barolo DOCG is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2001 Barolo Brunate emerges from the glass with sweet mentholated, floral aromas and flavors. In 2001 the Brunate is quite a bit fresher than the Rocche. It possesses striking delineation and more than enough mid-palate density to drink well for a number of years. The Brunate is at the early part of its drinking window now that is has developed a measure of aromatic complexity while remaining vibrant. Contrary to the vast majority of growers, Roberto Voerzio has always maintained that 2000 was a better vintage for him than 2001. After having tasted both vintages extensively over the last few years, its pretty clear Voerzio is right. The 2001s haven’t held up as well as the 2000s I reviewed last year and are developing at a faster pace. Not surprisingly, both of the Baroli Voerzio bottles only in magnum have developed particularly gracefully.
