Cascina Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Far, far better (now) than the 2017, or 2020. Comparable to the Ravera. Big rose hit as soon as it opens. A bargain at $100 from Winestar. Only one, sadly. At home with Curly. — 2 months ago

Vigna Elena Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

Only a touch less panoramic perhaps than the recent 2010 of this. A little browning, probably still at its peak. Seems to respond better to gradual airing in the bottle or glass than being poured into decanter. $190 from Winestar. — 4 months ago

Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Very similar to the 2013 from a few weeks ago. $220 from Winestar. — 4 months ago

Bricco Pernice Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Another from recent bargain ‘cellar release’ batch from Winestar $200. A gentler, kinder Ravera. — 5 months ago
