Lot #350. Elio Altare Barolo Vigneto Arborina 1999

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 96 AG.
"I have always adored Elio Altare's 1999s, even if for many years, Altare told me he preferred the 1998s. In my view, the 1999s always had more energy. That is still the case today. A great example of the vintage, the 1999 Barolo Arborina hits the palate with substantial depth. The tannins have begun to soften, revealing layers of crystalline fruit and more than enough freshness to drink well . . ." Vinous, Jun 2015
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $70
