pizza and a good barolo might be my favorite thing ever. It's definitely top 5.

Still some backbone but not much else. Prune flavors primarily. Of the 14x 1990s Barolo/Barbaresco bottles on the night, this was the only one that wasn't in good drinking shape. Great testament to the longevity of good Nebbiolo!

Remarkable Barolo -young to be sure but singing with all woodsy undergrowth and camphor flex and tension I yearn to find on Barolo but seldom find in this modern age. I'd love to see you again in ten years.

Great fresh out the gate. Rounder than the Cannubi. 2010's are in!

Pale, lots of crushed fresh petal, touch of mandarin peel on the nose

Ripe red cherry & cranberry, black tea, & rose water. Stealthy structure, however velvety mouth feel, & lingering finish! #iā¤Barolo
