Elio Altare, Barolo other_regions_australia touches of vanilla pod andAltare's 2000 Barolo is fabulous. Round, sweet and caressing on the palate, the Barolo impresses for its impeccable balance, and fresh, vibrant fruit. There is not a hint of oxidation or French oak in this impeccable Barolo. The 2000 is just approaching the early part of what looks to be a very long drinking window. Antonio Galloni
