Always a crazy train. The first 15 minutes, it’s all tenderness, perfume and almost Chambolle-like; then, the cranberry, rose hips, roast game bird Nebbiolo thing kicks in. Pure, vital and refreshing. #proprietàsperino #nebbiolo #costedellasesia #vespolina — 2 months ago

Vintage 2005 / Noble and classic smell from this #nebbiolo wine from #piemonte. Minerality and high acidity. A seductive wine without that creepy earthiness I dislike. Tasted blind I did not recognise this as nebbiolo. It is time to revise my opinion about #Barolo. — 3 months ago

Castor bean, game juices, porcini, black tea, grated spice. Touch of camphor. Massive structure, with hard- but integrated- tannins. Classic Serralunga Barolo from an all-time great vintage. #germano #barolo #prapo #nebbiolo — 4 months ago

Potent and riveting. Medicinal concentration, announced by aromas of camphor and hot tar. Saturated and dark color for Barbaresco, but it’s not overmacerated. Mace, porcini, tea rose and umeboshi plum. Massive structure, with the immense richness already winning the battle against substantial tannins. Drink it now, drink it over 25 years. Superior. #ronchi #barbaresco #nebbiolo — 3 months ago

Vintage 2014 / If possible I would smell this wine for hours and hours...complex smell with mocca toffee farmroses burned sugar... smell is much nicer than taste... high bitterness, gloomy and stubborn. #barbaresco #nebbiolo — 4 months ago

Earthy, asian spice notes, ginger, lemongrass, soy bouquet. Dried black cherry, plum skins, dried lavender and dried roses with an almost potpourri spice. Classic color, classic wine. #nebbiolo #RenatoRatti #Langhe #piemonte — 5 months ago

Another phenomenal ‘14 Barbaresco. So reminiscent of 2008: elegant, fine, detailed. Spice box, cranberry, tar and a touch of camphor. Drinkable now. #ronchi #cruronchi #barbaresco #nebbiolo — 3 months ago

Why you buy the grower, not the vintage. A ruthless selection of three crus yields this fast-maturing- but rich and elegant- beauty. Tar, tea rose, roasted plums and hot dust feature. Restaurants will jump all over this. #germano #barolo #nebbiolo — 3 months ago

Unfortunately this nebbiolo for me just isn’t enjoyable. I think a langhe nebbiolo should be somewhat ready to go and easy. This was lean, jagged and rough. Tight on the nose and tight tannins.. not my favorite expression! #nebbiolo #langhe #monforte — 5 months ago
