These two Barolos from Elio Grasso have aged well. Gianluca Grasso gave his 2003s 20 days on the skins followed by 2.5 years in cask. In 2003, Grasso did not bottle their top of the line Barolo Runcot.

Gianluca Grasso describes his family's 2004 Barolos as a bit more powerful now than the 2001s, with more body. The earlier vintage is more elegant, he added. Even in the copious growing season of 2004, vine yields for the estate's Barolo crus were barely 35 hectoliters per hectare. "Two thousand four was an outstanding vintage with great weather conditions from beginning to end," said Grasso. "We had rain when we needed it, and we got cool weather in late August and early September when we needed it. " Grasso is also a big fan of the 2006s, which he finds to be well-balanced wines. "When the grapes are perfect, as they were in both 2004 and 2006," he said, "it's a pleasure to be in the winery.

Elio Grasso is one of those producers who, for some reason, doesn't seem to receive the recognition he deserves. While that is unfortunate, it does mean the wines are often available at very reasonable prices.
