Barolo Nebbiolo

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2020 pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red roses, talcum powder, strawberry and raspberry cream, wood varnish, green herbs and dried gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and savory. Drink now through 2040.

These gotta be some of the best values left in Barolo. It’s probably worth noting that I had been wanting to try the wines from Tomaso Gianolio for many years however, distribution was almost non-existent. Thanks for changing all that @Lyle Fass

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2019 pours a deeper garnet (than the Barbaresco) but otherwise the same with a transparent core, medium+ viscosity and no staining of the tears. On the nose, more power here too. A tar bomb early which settles in and takes a seat behind a basket full of black cherries, macerated blackberries, roses, orange rind, menthol, fresh sage and some dried basil and old wood. On the palate, bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Such a lovely body and don’t even get me started on the texture. I’m smitten. Drink now with patience through 2049. Thanks @Lyle Fass for the assist!

Awesome nose. Mulled spices, spice, berry fruit, complex, cherries, deep. Palate is remarkably fresh with awesome texture and sap. Such nice purity and killer inner mouth florals and spice. Opulent and so deep with again, just slamming purity. Sweet, succulent and perfectly ripe. Gorgeous stuff.

What a nose. Classic. Tar, roses, mineral, chestnut, lovely aromas, like an old library. Complex and juicy with fabulous depth and richness yet lovely balance, purity and freshness. Excellent wine. Gorgeous today will improve.

So lucky to work with Davide. Incredible wines and so inexpensive. Classic nose. Dark cherries, tar, licorice, flowers, feral, sinewy and awesome aromas. Palate is powerful, deep, rich and elegant. Firm tannins but chewy and filled with dark fruits. Great freshness and purity. Sappy and so clean. Wonderful. Juicy and so dense but the balance and purity are there and off the charts. This will age wonderfully.

One of the most preposterous Barolo values of my career. Stunning nose of gorgeous, vivid roses, insane roses, wow this has opened up. Just a sick sick Barolo nose. Licorice. Cherry flower. Palate is juicy, dense, complex and young. Darker cherries on the palate. Fresh, energetic and very vibrant with a substantial and deep structure. A bit young with toothsome tannin but what a wine and value. So pure.

Just a baby, but so delicious.

Mos def a vintage that is not messing around. Dark blackberries. Some chocolate. Maybe a hint of mint. Very juicy though. Really excited there edge of the palate despite All of the dark fruits. Finish is luscious. Sweet fruit. Great wine. Bought from fass selections.

Nose is heaven. Tar roses earth. Some anise. Palate is medium density cherries with great acidity. Finish is so long and juicy. Licorice just coats the palate and lips. Really lingers. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. ... great texture. Amazing internal aromatics. Black cherry liquor and licorice and chicory and spice. Amazing. Sweet licorice finish. Love this.

Quite excellent and very excited for what this will be in a few more years. Decanted 4 hours which I’d suggest at this stage. Beautiful in the glass, characteristic Nebbiolo hint of translucency even in a more powerful red. Nose goes on and on and the palate matches with lots of dark and dried berry fruit, some leathery notes, and that lifting quasi menthol character. Tannins are certainly present - needs food. Great acid and finish. What a value.
