Barolo Nebbiolo 1988

8.9

1988 vintage. From a 6L bottle. Light-medium body with heavy dust, dried rose petals and caramelized/burnt sugar flavors. Lean nose and not showing well but probably needed another 5-8 hours open to fairly judge. 12.11.24. — 10 days ago

Great producer, great cru and great vintage.
Well played Sir.
I hope you had some truffles from Piedmont close by.

Aldo Vaira took control of the family vineyards in 1968, when he was just 15 years old. Today, G.D. Vajra consists of 150 acres, mostly around the commune of Barolo.
Ruby with a rich bouquet of fruit, spices and floral notes, fruit from several vineyards, aged 26 months in Slavonian oak casks. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of pepper, cinnamon and floral, slight earthy notes. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with earthy floral notes. Enjoyable now, a few more years will benefit. — a month ago

Parking Lot - Trader Joe’s 30$ Barolo. 14.5%. Tasted on the spot! With the mini snack cups from T.G. Brownish tinge, tealeaves and quite tart. Lacks classic Barolo flavors - will pass up on this one. Sad 😞 - Great vintage how can anyone screw this up? Might this needs hours of air and or a proper glass? Will add to these notes - in 3 hours. May be i am wrong? — 7 days ago

Great idea but should have paired with samples of Trader Giotto’s meatballs or gnocchi

Bummer. Will hafta See if I can score a bottle from the local TJ's to see if notes are consistent. This version usually pretty workmanlike and in the 9.1-9.2 zone.

After the next day finished the second half of the bottle. Knew it’s one of those wines and that’s why I ordered at the restaurant. Beautiful bouquet. Fruit is light. Smooth and dry. — 17 days ago
