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.Inc. GSTSG$1,884.39 -

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.Inc. GSTSG$992.77 -

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.Inc. GSTSG$1,671.84 -

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.Inc. GSTSG$1,052.72 -

Good full red. Sexy aromas of plum, raspberry, spices, dried flowers and minerals; this bottling always strikes me as Burgundian.

The 2017 Barolo Giachini shows its typical pliant personality, but in a more restrained style than is typical. Ripe red berry fruit, cedar, dried flowers, mint and spice fill out its mid-weight frame nicely. There is lovely depth here, if a bit less mid-palate creaminess than in most years. That, in turn, makes the tannins stick out a bit.Inc. GSTSG$411.37 -

The 2018 Barolo Giachini is super-classy and elegant. There is a feeling of nervous tension that runs through the Giachini that is super-appealing. Crushed flowers, kirsch, spice and mint open gradually with a bit of air. The 2018 is very nicely done, although it clearly shows the more mid-weight feel of the year.Inc. GSTSG$433.17 -
