Solid but a bit of a bruiser for Nebbiolo

A tad too evolved for my taste, showcasing abundant aromas is dried cherries and figs. Pan fried herbs too. On the palate, it’s still lively and fruity, with tannins completely resolved. Drink now.

Good, but was also surprised at the single-vineyard Barbaresco

A mouth full. Needs time in the cellar.

One of the most delicate and beautiful barolos I’ve ever had at such a young age. Stunning purity. We drank 2017/18 side by side. The 2018 was the clear winner. 5th day open from the fridge.

Happy Valentine’s Day (with a rib-eye). Leather, earthy, more roses than tar, young and fresh for a Barolo, perhaps more like a Barbaresco and more on the medium than full side. Bright tannins, mineral, cranberry, vanilla, potpourri, baker’s chocolate. From Flatiron Wines.
