Cavallotto Barolos need time. There is no getting around it. This year's new releases include the 2010 Bricco Boschis and the 2008 Riservas. I tasted the 2008 Riservas from barrel last fall, before the final blends were made, and they were superb. Not surprisingly, both Riservas have shut down considerably since they were bottled in June. I also had a chance to taste the 2007 Riservas, wines that are only now beginning to show the potential I sensed when I tasted the wines from cask. At press time, Cavallotto was planning to bottle both Riservas for the 2009 vintage, although according to Alfio Cavallotto production will be tiny and the wine will spend a bit less time in barrel than normal because of the precocious personality of the year.
