A lovely smoky dark dried plum with notes of sherry and dried apricot. Great texture and balance. Though the fruit is more to the brown, Madeira end of the spectrum it is Still remarkably fresh and polished. A soulful, fascinating wine. — 3 months ago
Hard to describe though my first impression was of dusty flowers. Still vibrant with a decent finish. — 22 days ago
Pale reddish in color with light intensity.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, coffee, tobacco, vegetables, herbs and black pepper.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a very tasty Barbaresco from a great vintage. Soft and elegant with good structure.
Showing nice complexity already, and a good food wine.

The best Barolo I’ve been able to get at Costco. Higher price than their usual but based on the quality it’s a great value. Traditional style - young with lots of years to go. Nose with dark rose and earth. Right with tan is on opening h but opened some within a couple hours. Palate is earth forward with tobacco undergrowth mineral balanced with blackbery dark cherry. Long mouth tingling finish. — 2 months ago
Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.
Strong nose of red fruits with earth, light vegetables, light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.

This 5 year old Barolo from the famous Canubi Vineyard is still a little rigid right now, but already enjoyable. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years, with good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Very tasty and a good food wine that will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

The color of weak coffee with some bottle of the bottom gunk. Va on the nose and light notes of roses and dried fruit. On the palate very pure and lifted. Obviously aged but softening with air and bright and pretty. What a surprise given it’s a centurion. — 3 months ago

One of my favorite regions. Wine was gorgeous. Not overpowering in the least but I did decant for about an hour. — 3 days ago
