Gabutti Barolo Red Blend 2013

Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, cranberry and spices (clove). Smooth, cherry flavors with a hint of licorice. Solid Nebbiolo.

Perno Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

9.0

Nice if undistinguished Barolo from the Perno cru in Monforte d’Alba. Cherry, plum, tar, dried herbs, and light forest floor on the nose. Good combination of fruitiness and power on the palate. Tannins are still a bit tight.
Just enter its drinking window.

Thanks for the advise @Jae Cho ! I will check it out. Like Bussia, Perno is quite large so quality does vary, depending on the producer’s holding, and of course the producer.

A great result for the 22 year old Sinner. Many more Grand Slam titles in the future for this worthy champion.

Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Don’t always love Nebbiolo, but maybe just drinking the wrong ones (or drinking them too young). This was delicious, fruit notes on front with drier, full bodied finish — 7 months ago

Riserva Rio Sordo Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

Last had 2 years ago. In a good place, not sure what more time will yield. Decanted a couple hours and paired with fennel rubbed pork chops. Quite seamless. Really nice fruit and a long finish with a nice acid / mineral / saline core that provides for a long finish and makes it a great food wine. — 9 months ago

Riserva Rio Sordo Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2009

Really a wonderful barbaresco riserva. Should have bought more than one bottle. Lots of sediment, so a decant is in order. Wonderfully deep nose, so velvety on the palate. Nice long finish. Just enough refreshing acid too - could have used a smidge more but still very nice. Great pairing with Allen brothers duroc pork chops. — 2 years ago

This was a first for us - my wife’s uncle gave us a gift card for Christmas. I wasn’t that impressed with the prime beef (relative to what I get in the city) but the pork chops were great.
