Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

Really enjoyed this Monvigliero showing red cherry, strawberry, rose petal & spice box. Youthful with silky tannins that needed some air — a day ago

Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

I sold Barolos and Barbarescos from this winery with the first importer I worked for back in the early 80s. It’s been in the decanter about an hour, and though the lightish color shows maturity, some fruit is emerging g to join with the intense mahogany furniture/old library scents. Incense too, along with faded rose petals. Very classic. In the mouth, it’s powerful and somewhat austere. Not a fruity wine. Still a fair amount of tannin present. The austerity and power will pair nicely with the braised oxtails (coda alla vaccinara) that are almost ready. — 24 days ago

Bright acidity, clean minerals, white floral notes, lemon citrus. Well balanced. This vintage is brighter than others I’ve had near the past. Love getting this one twice a year and look forward to each shipment. — 2 months ago
