Uber traditional, heavy bricking, fully mature now and maybe even a bit on the decline (storage before I bought it?), but this is such a classic example of aged Nebbiolo. All sous bois, leather, wood smoke, tar, and fruit that is surprisingly soft. Roddolo is not widely available in the US but deserves to be better known. — 4 months ago
An elevated Barolo, striking light, appealing land radiant ruby color. The bouquet has an overtone of greenness with hints of mountain Forrest and dried leaves. All nuances (nose and palate) are driven on Rose and tart, yet for a 2019 remains fresh and vibrant on dark cherries and red fruit, some tobacco leaves and spices as well. Beautifully structured, incredibly balanced between its acidity and tannins. It shows its potential 120mins after opening. It has to breathe a lot. — 9 months ago

Pulled the cork and let sit for 2 hours. Decanted and poured. Aromatics galore with mild tannins which I have found unusual for young Barolos — a month ago
A gentle style of Barolo. Light ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas of cherries, dried rose petals and tar. Red and black cherry fruit flavors are complimented by notes of tobacco, balsamic vinegar and basil. Kick of pepper spice on the long finish. Extremely smooth tannins. Mouth watering acidity and medium bodied. Requires some aeration to open up. — 3 months ago

This is a full-bodied barolo with grippy tannins and good acidity. On the palette, effusive flavors of cherry and roasted strawberries with cloves and anise come through nicely, with underlying white pepper, leather and savory notes. The tannin and non-fruit flavors seem to dominate the finish. Overall, flavors may have mellowed a tiny bit compared to when I had this in 2023, but still tasty. I’m noticing the white pepper and savory notes more now, but that may be just due to more experience tasting nebbiolo. — a month ago
