Kalamata olives, dried black cherries, baker’s chocolate, rusted jalopy, black pretzel, tar, and dried violets. Energetic aromatically; evocative of a rustic stone house with a variegated garden of herbs, and perhaps straw roofing. Plum moves forward in a good way rounding out the basket. Powdered cherry and blood orange with the finest tannins seem to liquify into a delicious balancing act between fruit and earth and herbs. Ripe plum, dried red cherries, black cherry juice, black olives, blood orange over grilled meat, sassafras, sage, tarragon, black truffle, chicory and walnut. Not a traditional pairing with Californian lamb from sustainable vineyards in Lake County, but revalatory. #Barolo #nebbiololife #nebbiololover #nebbioli #cabutto #tenutalavolta #docg #piemonte #piedmont — 6 years ago
Huge aeromatics. Strawberries dipped in roofing tar. — 9 years ago
No one in the world would guess Italian on this if tasted blind. Unctuous and rich, brown sugar, smoke, burnt caramel, deep, black fruits along with roofing tar. I think the alcohol is a bit much for me. Finishes hot and heavy. A young, petulant woman looking to ruin your career. For giggles.

A bit closed with darker roofing fruit. Grippy tannins and good structure built to last. — 4 years ago
