This bottle had been opened an unknown amount of time before I was presented my first glass and it was enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2018 Arborina pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, raspberry, roses, tar, a mix of cool and warm spices 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. While the wine making at Renato Corino leans heavily modern, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It’s a bit flashy but it maintains its sense of place. Drink now through 2038. — 8 days ago

2019. Deep and dark flavors without any hints from the >16% alcohol. Paired better with my friends’ hanger steak and short ribs, but didn’t overpower the last of my duck breast. — 5 months ago

Mixed spice on the nose transitions to honeydew melon and roasted nuts and elderflower. Possesses depth and texture with moderate acidity. Nice lengthy finish. Loving this…

Decanted for about nine hours. Fresh raspberries, cherries, and a bit of mushrooms. Very elegant. Full-bodied, but not quite as powerful as other Barolos I’ve had over the years. — 7 months ago

2022 Etna rossa San Lorenzo. Considered a grand cru. Rich and rocky soil. On the nose, cherry, ripe plum. On the palate, richer, cherry, plum, minerals. Deeper. High tannins. — 17 days ago

Still has plenty of zip to go with the rich heft. Drinking well with a lengthy decant. — 2 months ago
