Roero Nebbiolo 2022

This is a pleasant nebbiolo that I see pairing well with a lot of pasta dishes. Overall, this wine has very scrumptious red fruit flavors with settled tannins that balance the fresh acidity really well. It’s a translucent, pale red that’s medium bodied with scents of cherry, rose, and leather. Primarily it’s the cherry that comes through on the palate. The fine grained tannins transition to black tea notes and cherry on the finish. The fruit on the finish quickly disappears. — 5 months ago

Beautiful berry fruits, chocolate covered cherries, earthy leaves and soil and still strong but integrated tannins. Beautiful with steak frites. At Bistro de Paris. — 8 months ago

I fear I opened this far too soon. A couple hours of decanting has helped it open up. Going to let my other bottle hang out on the rack for a few more years. — 10 months ago

Donna Margherita Barbera d'Alba 2015

Threw a few of these in the cellar just to see what would happen. Finally coming into its own in Hour 2. Dark blue black fruits, nice acidity, balanced. Really nice. Great for Sunday pasta and red sauce. — 4 years ago

Nose was a little strange. Slightly muted with notes of dark fruits and earth but the palette was phenomenal and smooth. Sweet at first with a dry finish — 2 months ago

Buon Padre Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Old school showing restraint and tradition. However, the fruit is a bit muted cherry and takes a backseat to earthy tones of forest floor, leather, and dried herbs. Tannins are firm yet balanced, and the finish carries a touch of tar and rose.
A solid entry level Barolo.
