Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Last had a bottle of the 2010 9 years ago and lost this one under a couple of other bottles. Popped and double decanted to remove sediment. Color showing considerable browning at the rim initially, it seems to be looking more youthful with air time. Nose is pretty intense, with the fruit showing a slightly pruney note, which I’m hoping dissipates as it gains air, and dark cherry lozenges. Beyond that, lots of leather, polished mahogany furniture, and sous-bois. The palate is still vigorous, with nice acids and intense but soft tannins framing deep, licoricey flavors. Quite full bodied. A little austere on the finish, it I’m hoping that pairs well with the braised beef short ribs that will be ready in 30 minutes. 9.2 for now; will update if that changes. — 21 days ago

@Doug Powers - Well, it’s the entry level bottling. And, personally, a bit too tertiary for my idiosyncratic taste. But it worked pretty well with the short ribs.

@Tom Casagrande, no worries, we all have different palates and different preferences. I have NEVER enjoyed a Barolo or Barbaresco without at least 20
years of aging, I have a few 1982s to get to once it stops being 102 or more around here (oh, it’s a “DRY HEAT”, LOL!!).

9.3

one of the more impressive wines i've had from ARG - deep dark golden color, looked slightly oxidized, and a bouquet that vacillated from honeyed florals, to mineral, to exotic perfumed spice, musky, brooding, ripe citrus then orchard fruit - just so multi-layered & oh so engaging, the palate was a bit more focused - solid mid weight w/firm acidic backbone leading to lingering tangy salty finish. can't recall having a Chenin like this - felt like extended skin contact and long lees treatment. — 7 months ago

Riserva Renieri Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

Renieri uses French and Slavonian oak on this, adding significant complexity unlike some of the modernizing producers. Dried cherry and cranberry on first pour but after breathing the leather, cigar box, and forest floor come through. Dramatic lengthy finish with characteristic tannins that make aged sangiovese interesting. — 5 months ago
