Still quite young… needs another 5+ — 2 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 — 3 months ago
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. — 6 months ago
Well-rounded, balanced and rich taste! Very good wine! — 12 days ago
Another from recent bargain ‘cellar release’ batch from Winestar $200. A gentler, kinder Ravera. — a month ago
Very similar to the 2013 from a few weeks ago. $220 from Winestar. — 17 days ago
Went back to the 2020 at Il Baretto with Curly again, $210. Perhaps I have been spoiled with the Ravera since then? Why can’t I have just left well alone? — 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. — 5 months ago

Tasting great. Still a good amount of time. Herbs, flowers, dark fruits, dried flowers. Good structure. — 11 hours ago
