2009 Barolo: Highs and Lows, Part 2

This set of reviews concludes our coverage of the 2009 Barolos in 2013, which focuses on wines that are bottled later than is the norm. My general opinion remains the same as before, which is to say I view the 2009s as uneven across the board. There are some surprises though, many of them in this article. I hope readers will check out the best the vintage has to offer. The finest 2009 Barolos are gorgeous wines to drink while some of the surrounding, more classic vintages age. Readers may want to consult Part I of this report, published in May 2013, for more on the vintage and growing season.
