Notes
The 2003 Barolo Campe has developed beautifully and gained notable focus since I first tasted it from barrel a few years ago. It opens with a huge, overripe nose that leads to a powerful expression of earthiness, spices and sweet fruit, with mentholated, balsamic overtones. Made in dense, powerful style, it offers outstanding length and a long, building finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018. (Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate)

Shows aromas of flowers and berries, with hints of vanilla and a touch of rosebud. Full-bodied and very concentrated, with big, chewy tannins and a long, powerful finish. Loaded with fruit and layered, with impressive concentration. A blockbuster.
