Luciano Sandrone's 2004 Barolos are just as majestic today as they were from barrel and in the early days after bottling. Both Barolos are dark, intensely perfumed and remarkably youthful, all qualities Sandrone attributes to the very late harvest. Readers who own the 2004s are in for a thrill.

Luciano Sandrone has been ecstatic about the quality of his 2004s since we first tasted the wines together in the winter of that year. While 2004 is a superb vintage overall, Sandrone's wines stand out, most notably for their extraordinary elegance.

Since finishing construction of his new temperature-controlled winemaking facility in 1999, Sandrone has held back about 10% of his Barolo production for later release eight to ten years after the vintage, and in the future that percentage may go up to 30%. "Our wines shouldn't be sold, or consumed, too young," he told me. He's also varying his prices to reflect vintage quality for all of his wines except dolcetto-"an idea I stole from the French winemakers. " Not surprisingly, my visit to Sandrone was one of the highlights of my September tour. Sandrone describes 2004 as "one of our greatest vintages-there's almost nothing to say about it. It's a great year with a lot of structure and elegance. " Incidentally, Sandrone describes 2005 as a more classic vintage than 2006. "We got a good long season without extreme heat, and the day-night temperature variation gave us firm tannins that are not hard. " Sandrone leaves his Barolos on their malolactic lees until the summer after the harvest, doing some batonnage, a technique he says he picked up from a visit to Burgundy.
