Brunate Barolo Nebbiolo 1996

Dark, inky and intense. Tobacco, molasses, dried herbs, blood. Dense and packed with floral notes at the edges. Very pure on the nose, salinity and focus. Excellent. Stop young — a year ago

Giàrborina Langhe Nebbiolo 2012

Garnet to pink rim, clear and bright. Soft fragrant rose petals, baked cherry vanilla biscuit, closing out with a hint of licorice. Some nuttiness on the palate, with persistent alcohol-warmed cherries midway. Tart and grippy tannic finish. More bottle life awaits. Very very enjoyable, bringing back memories of La Morra last summer. Looking forward to our return to Piedmont!

Apparently not a great vintage for Barolo and it showed, albeit from one of my favorite producers. — 6 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Quite dense crimson in colour with a tawny rim. Balsamic notes with cherry and a leathery note. Unusual production technique for Barolo using French Barriques for oak maturation. An excellent red but not particularly Barolo, although the oak has largely integrated after 15 years. One of the 1001 Wines. I have Delectable notes of this Cuvée from the 2008 vintage. — 8 months ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

2020 is a terrific vintage for early drinking. And Sandri is such a wonderful winemaker. Visits with him are never less than three hours of intense discussion and sampling of all of his botte. He’s very generous and it shows in his wines. Great. — a year ago
