Impressive showing for this Monvigliero with cherry, strawberry, balsamic, savory spices, floral & tobacco notes — 3 months ago
Last had nearly two years ago, and this seems even more closed than then. Decanted 5 hours but didn’t really open all that much. Tons of cherry on the nose, which is nice. But the palate is quite unexpressive and the finish is overwrought with dusty tannins still. Another 5 years? — 5 months ago
Pale reddish in color with light intensity.
Light red fruits on the nose, and medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, cherries, spices, peppercorn, light wood, coffee, herbs and light vegetables.
Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This 5 year old Barolo is young and elegant. Showing nice balance with good structure.
Has enough acidity to last it for a while. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years.
Easy drinking and better with food.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 18 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Tannino totalmente evoluto, molto elegante, non molto lungo — 2 months ago

This is showing beautifully right now, with a beguiling blend of orange peel, cassis, and anise aromas that carry over to the palette, where black cherries, balsamic notes, and a delicate mix of earthy autumnal spices provide a sensuous background. Soft mouthfeel with fine tannins that peek out a bit on the long finish, where the spiced citrus seems to last forever. Paired perfectly with pan-roasted wild mushrooms and dry-aged ribeye. — 3 days ago
