As outstanding as this magnum is

with chocolate shavings

mineral-driven fruit

with the result that the wine is not at all overly oaky

Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Croera Morra Vintage:2004 Tasted at the Branaire- DucruBruno Giacosa's 2004 Barolo Croera is an excellent choice for drinking over the next decade or so. A pretty, understated wine, the Croera offers lovely balance in a feminine style that is typical of La Morra. Rose petal, mint, sage, crushed raspberries and anise shape the aromatic, mid weight finish. If opened today, the 2004 needs a bit of air to soften the tannins a touch. The Croera is the one and only Barolo Bruno Giacosa made from La Morra.
