Barolo Nebbiolo

Nose has summer roses, dried raspberry, wet leather, cherry pipe tobacco and old woodshop dust.

Palate has fresh raspberry, dried raspberry, dried cherry, old licorice with strong, dusty tannins. Decanted +10h and this wine is still a beast, I thought it would be, but wanted a progress check.

Paired to a long and slow cooked Bolognese sauce over Pappardelle. The wine worked well with the dish, albeit youthful. We're breaking our rule of 20Y min. on Barolo tonight. (I can't wait to drink the 2016's in 2036+, I hope I can still taste wine then...🤪 and maybe Delectable will provide an Android update in that timeframe.)

(Interesting post dinner note, enjoying the wine with dark chocolate covered caramel with sea salt and we're pulling a fun blueberry trait on the palate.)

Ok, not great

So beautiful and deep while being savory. Brissimo!

Straightforward floral, red cherry, more expressive than muscular

Barolo classico that can stand up to most Cru bottlings.

You know what they say about a Barolo with big hands.....

Really flabby and dumb to start, needed an hour to show its stuff. Low aromatics of raspberries, roses, dirt and tar. Not much life left in this, unfortunately.

Picked this up for 35. nice value. Thinking of buying 6 or 12 and holding for a couple years.

Fantastic Barolo - medium bodied but light and silky on the palate. Blackberries, leather, smoked currants, tobacco, with wonderful complexity and balance

Pizza wine. Tannins are still tough but it drank well. Classic style. Big and dark fruit
