Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Wine was past its best. Tasted more like a ok Nebbiolo. No aging notes of leather or that beautiful garnet brick color. Very disappointed we had this at least 5 years, would had drank a lot sooner if I knew!

Nice wine. Very much enjoyed drinking it. Did seem to lack the leather notes I was expecting— was more fruit forward with this one

Average. Should be cheap table wine.

A dark plum colour, delicious and aromatic with rich tannins and characteristics of flowers and stewed plums on the nose, the palate enjoys significant acid with a long, strong, earthy finish. Paired wonderfully with a hearty veal tagliatelle.

I hit this at the right time. Straight forward Barolo style. Purity and character of Nebbiolo shows from start to finish. Shimmering red garnet color with dried cranberries, dozens of freshly cut roses, potpourri, pipe tobacco, and lively earth tonalities of pine bark, tar, and mulch on the nose. Savory expressions of balsamic and fresh red ruby grapefruit flood the palate. Tannins starting to become leathery. Already showing elegance and balance. 2010's give you that classic and traditional sense of Barolo. Cheers to Friday! And, may Chris Cornell Rest In Peace 🎸
