Massara Barolo Nebbiolo

Solid but a bit of a bruiser for Nebbiolo

A tad too evolved for my taste, showcasing abundant aromas is dried cherries and figs. Pan fried herbs too. On the palate, it’s still lively and fruity, with tannins completely resolved. Drink now.

Good, but was also surprised at the single-vineyard Barbaresco

Juicy red Barolo.

A mouth full. Needs time in the cellar.

Comment layer

yes please. blackberries. carmel. potpourri. good tannins. granite. buy again. from flatiron.

Happy Valentine’s Day (with a rib-eye). Leather, earthy, more roses than tar, young and fresh for a Barolo, perhaps more like a Barbaresco and more on the medium than full side. Bright tannins, mineral, cranberry, vanilla, potpourri, baker’s chocolate. From Flatiron Wines.

Fine. Let it open up.

Beautiful, but it's still a baby.
