This is insanely good quality for the price. Well balanced, with good acid and weight, and super floral aromatics almost like there is some Muscat in there. Very nice. — 5 months ago

Really a lovely Barolo (esp for the price on an otherwise over marked wine list) and drinking quite well at this stage. The tannins are very present, but relatively fine grained. Pretty classic Nebbiolo fruit with great acid on the finish. Delicious. — 7 months ago

Quite a bit more bubbles than what I was expecting. Lots of floral notes on the nose reminiscent of jasmine. Palate is floral with some strawberry with good acidity and a touch of phenolic bitterness. Good length too.

Tasty, gulpable stuff. Cheers to summer! — 4 years ago

Intense and deep. Leather and roasting, spices and heavy clay and chewy tans and everything in between. Drank it over three days with a variety of steak and roasted mushrooms and Italian food and it went well with everything just very broad and deep and brewing.  — 2 months ago

Very similar to the recent 2013, but with more roses. Again, much softer, less powerful than the Ravera and the Vigana Elena. $225 from WA. At home with Curly. — 3 months ago

Only a touch less panoramic perhaps than the recent 2010 of this. A little browning, probably still at its peak. Seems to respond better to gradual airing in the bottle or glass than being poured into decanter. $190 from Winestar. — 5 months ago

This wine pours a somewhat clear ruby red. It has a nice nose. The fruit is restrained. And after it’s been open for a little bit, the tannins really come through. This is an excellent wine that I got at Costco for $48. I would definitely re-buy it. It went well, although not a perfect match with the seafood linguine I had for my birthday at Mange Bene restaurant. #barolowine #italianwines #piedmontwines #nebbioli #costcowines — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2021 “Del Comune de La Morra” pours a brilliant garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and redolent with bright, fresh red fruits: framboise, Morello cherry, freshly paved asphalt, trampled rose petals, a kiss of VA, and dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. A wine you just want to smell for an eternity. Brilliant. This enjoys a lot of air and I expect will have a very long life. Drink now with patience through 2061. Thanks @Lyle Fass for the assist! — 6 months ago
