Vinous (88)Good deep red. Nose currently dominated by smoky, roasted wood scents; comes across as a bit diffuse. Fat and full, but lacks clarity and precision. The tannins seem a bit aggressive today. I don't get a lot of verve. A disappointing bottle, or perhaps simply in an awkward stage. |

Vinous (91)Corino's 2003 Barolo Arborina is deep, rich and powerful. It boasts terrific depth and volume, but time has shown what was perhaps less apparent when the wines were young. Namely that Rocche is one of the greatest sites in La Morra and Arborina is not. Not even close, actually. In the Arborina we find plenty of dark red and black fruit, smoke, incense, orange peel and spices, all in a generous, slightly bombastic style. Still, the wine's balance is impeccable, especially within the context of the vintage. |

Vinous (92)Good full red. Fresh, spicy aromas of cherry, camphor, licorice and dried flowers. Fat, sweet and pliant; a step up in complexity and concentration from the Arborina. Finishes very long, with lush, fine tannins. A very successful, thoroughly ripe '97 Barolo. |

Vinous (88)Corino'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. |

This very juicy wine finishes with substantial dusty tannins and captivating mineral firmness. All of these wines are done in barriques |

The tannins need to soften a bit, but that should not be an issue in another few years' time. Sweet red berry fruit pomegranate and spice nuances flesh out nicely. This soft Barolo is not an obvious wine, but it will delight readers who appreciate finesse. I very much like the brightness and floral lift here. |

At 13,000 bottles made per year, production numbers are more than double the other Barolos in his portfolio, so this wine is reasonably easy to locate as a result.

It sees a 40-day maceration period for extra color and structure, plus 30 months aging in both botte grande and tonneaux.
