Just when I thought I was getting a fix on the relative merits and different styles of the past few vintages, the Brovias ventured the opinion that their 2006 Barolos are characterized by finesse and elegance and are rounder than their '05s. In other words, the 2005s are the powerful wines here, with some of them showing slightly rustic herbal and peppery nuances. Elena Brovia compared the family's 2005s to past vintages like '01, '99 and even '96, although she was quick to point out that the '96s are less sweet and have harder tannins. On the other hand, Elena's husband Alex Sanchez noted, "the 2006s weren't especially strong or powerful at the beginning but they have changed a lot." Still, the '05s are slightly higher in acidity than the '06s, which in turn are higher than the '04s. My notes in this issue include a couple of 2004s that had not been bottled as of my last visit in September of 2007.
