Albe Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty color of ruby with a wide brick rim.

Nose of red fruits, tobacco leaf, light wood, spices, coffee, black pepper, vegetables and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh cherries, spices, light oak and espresso.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a nice 11 year old Barolo.
A little tight right out of the bottle, and needed 90 minutes of airtime.

Fruity on the nose and earthy on the palate. Elegant and soft.

Still feels very young and would be nice to revisit it in a few years.

Not as complex as I expected it to be, but showed a beautiful nose once it opened up.

Not balanced at this point, and a little tart for me. Could be this specific bottle though.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 30 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$50.

Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Blockbuster that will score higher in a couple of years. New oak is very prominent, as well as the fruit and the tannins. This one needs time to get it all together but… superb wine! — 16 days ago

Vietti

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

Medium “tea” rubi robe, nose of crushed flowers, spices, and dark fruits. Good density and body, acidity, cistercian at this juncture but with excellent potential. Give it 6 or 7 years in bottle. — 12 days ago

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

Bright medium rubi robe, nose of crushed flowers, asian spices and cherries. Medium bodied, light on its feet, drinking truly well now but with many years ahead, its elegant, complex and does not lack power either. Top barolo. — 19 days ago
