It's hard to know what to make of Bruno Giacosa's 2008 Baroli. Over the years I have had the privilege and pleasure to drink virtually all of Giacosa's wines from both legendary and weaker vintages all the way back to 1961. These wines don't match anything in my previous experience.

The good news here is that Dante Scaglione, Giacosa's long-time enologist before leaving in March of 2008, is now back as a consultant, to help out young winemaker Francesco Versio beginning with the 2011 harvest. But I did not have a chance to see Giacosa himself, as he was in the hospital following a recent fall. Scaglione described 2009 as "similar to 2007, a warm vintage that's between the more structured 2008 and the less classic 2007 in style." The wines, he went on, will drink well early. "The 2008s are more classic and fresh and will have a longer life. But they're very young today. The 2007s were more drinkable at the same stage."
