Pio Cesare Barolo 2003


This is one of my all time favs, a delicious wine with full blackberry aromas, full bodied, hints of coffee, licorice, tar, soft tannins, good balance with a nice long finish. It's exactly what i love about barolo's. ( the lable reminds me of Cinzano bianco).
A great young barolo with a lot of potential for later drinking but meanwhile its a great young wine which believe me is impressive now. I really enjoy drinking it now and delicious with meat. Overall a very good wine.
But as usual good grog don't come cheap it retails for around RM230 at the establishment. It sells for around RM380( or more) a bottle at restaurants but i had the once in a lifetime incident where i enjoyed 2 bottles of this excellent wine for RM130 a bottle due to some fuck-up at this new restaurant which i will not name to protect the innocent staff members from losing their jobs.( and i have the receipt to prove it!)
