Tasted the 18’ vintage and wasn’t too impressed, given the price point. This ‘17 is quite similar to the ‘18 - nice fragrant nose but the fruits felt a bit diluted on the palate. Granted neither the ‘17 nor the ‘18 is a strong vintage, but there are better bottlings for less. — 2 days ago

Piemonte is puzzling with flashes of rare hits. Really makes you work to discover the gems. Check out Diego Conterno’s Monforte ‘17.

@Jae Cho thanks for the suggestion. Not familiar with the producer and don’t recall seeing it on retail shelf. Just looked up your notes. Will be on the lookout.

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Needed an hour +. Ripe and mature enough but still on the early side. Very good balance. Tart and complex. Excellent accompaniment to the mushroom risotto and the veal that followed. — 5 days ago

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

2007 vintage drinking very well - was almost ready out of the bottle but improved with a few hours in the decanter. Wonderful red fruit on the palate with strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. Alcohol was slightly perceptible. This is in a good place and seems unlikely to improve much, but nowhere near a state of decline. Fruit is still quite primary with nice acidity — 13 days ago

Lecinquevigne Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Still a bit fruity on the nose mostly tart cherry quite delicious. I’d to let it open for another 20 minutes and keep in my cellar another 5 years. Thanks Costco for carrying this 🥂 — 9 days ago
