Barolo Nebbiolo

What a wine! The fruit is broad, complex and deep. There’s great purity here and a beautifully balanced finish. The wood is perfectly settled to provide a backbone and depth. On the palate this is beautiful... for a 40 year old wine this is awesome and this is an exceptionally good bottle

First Giacosa that seemed like it didn't want to last for the ages. A bit tired but as for Barolo that's ok. All the classic markers were there while morphing into wet leaves.

The 9.3 here is exactly right in 01 Giacosa hit it out of the park with every bottling. The base Barolo is amazing.

Still awesome after 30 years.

Opened 1 hour prior to tasting. Beautiful mature Barolo. Looks like red burgundy. Sappy, resiny aromatics with some herbal notes. Lovely balance here. Long finish. Delicious and complete. Enjoyed with Porcini Risotto.

No maggi😇 some flowers in the bouque. However, the taste is impressive: cherries, freshness, so lush and charming, soft tannins, not dry at all. The Master from Piemonte delivers! After half a century, pretty cool👍

Medium body with cherry and tobacco

A cool, collected nose. Pretty light roses and cherry with a gnarly, darker undertow. Lovely mouthfeel. Clear and precise. Excellent, if young.

I have a soft spot for Giacosa wines, this is no exception. Great bottle!
