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. — 23 days ago

Vigorously poured into a decanter about 30 minutes prior to service; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2017 Gabutti “Pie Rupestris” pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with heavy notes of ripe and tart Morello cherry, fresh cut roses (stems and all!), tar, dried herbs, exotic eastern spices, talcum powder and dried earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, though everything seems to be enhanced on the palate; powerful! The finish is super long. This is a gorgeous example of 2017 Barolo and likely one of the very finest of the vintage. Drink now through 2067. — a month ago

This needed an hour of air to reveal its polished, silky texture showing cherry, berry, plum fruit, savory herbs, rose petal & tar — a month ago

Tangy and light. Marmalade in color. Pure and light. A little under. — 21 days ago

Compared to the Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra this still had plenty going on and I think would have gotten better with more time. Some berries and tar stood out but busy evening.
