Black cherry, sous bois, dried rose petals. Lovely velvety texture on palate, such strong QPR on this Costco #barolo. — 3 months ago

Wintergreen fresh nose with clove and ginger, peppermint and chocolate, peppercorn and mint. Bright and pine-y.
Cinnamon heat, Barolo tar and roses, clove and orange citrus, ginseng sweetness, and cinnamon oil with frankincense aspirations. Gorgeous seasonal offerings that warm the body and soul.

The final wine of the tasting is the ‘11 Barolo, showing decent maturity 10 years in. #piedmont #nebbiolo #barolo — a year ago

Good but not great #barolo - prototypical #nebbiolo earthy fruit, cigar, leather on nose, lighter body. We didn’t decant long enough before tasting so tannins were unruly, rough. Things softened a bit after nearly an hour but 2013 could easily go another 10 years. — 2 years ago

9.0

Red cherry and dried cranberry, rose petal, cherry lozenge, cedar, cherrywood, cypress, fresh tobacco, light black pepper. Firm palate.
Grainy tannins but velvet coated. Red currants, black cherry extract, black olive, resinous black currant, tart red tea. Green tobacco. Fresh oregano, bay leaf, cracked pepper. Prickly, pointed and tart, but keeps the interest piqued.

I completely agree with@Chris Maclean here. For an entry level #Barolo this is wonderful. Smooth and polished and so varietal. It’s pale color and smooth tannins beguile, it definitely has structure and fruit concentration to age. — 9 months ago

Hint of peppermint on the nose rolls back to reveal wormwood and roses, chocolate ganache, rhubarb, and dried grapefruit peel. Velvety and complex, with peppercorn, red apple peel, cinnamon dust, dried rose petal, dried violet, and roobios tea.

Warm cherry with cinnamon, tobacco leaf, licorice root extract, smoke, pine nettle, cocoa, pipe tobacco, dark violets, rose petal. Medium mouthfeel shows the tar and black cherry heart and expressive blood orange, cinnamon, dried cranberry, expansive black currant and smoldering earth. Holiday spices. A tremendous offering!

Perfumed nose with violets, cassis, sandalwood and sweet smoke. Red cherries and ripe cranberries underneath. The tannins are apparent and chewy, but they are ripe and fine-grained tannins. #barolo #nebbiolo #piedmont — a year ago
