Barolo

So, the 2004 Barolos and Barbarescos... you should buy as much as you possibly can. I've been saying it for a while, but this is a vintage to cherish... to put away for your kids 21st birthday (or your retirement). This is a 25/ 30 year vintage.. such concentration, but such classic notes as well. This is why Barolo is the King and Barbaresco is the queen... long life - check! complexity found almost nowhere else - check - still in a reasonable price point for the quality - absolutely check... I got into them because my wife doesn't love (gasp!) Burgundy, but for some reason loved the Italians... so, there you go. Buy them and thank me in 20 years...
