Happy to be back home from our holiday vacation (with COVID) in Miami. Just a pasta night, with a stellar Barolo. Happy New Year to everyone. Back to hard work tomorrow.
This is beautifully balanced with cedar, leather, subtle stewed cherries. Spherical on the palate, firm enjoyable tannins. Long finish. Awesome!

Fantastic showing, supple, lithe. Classic tar and roses but with a power and tension that, along with the sweet tannic frame, suggests this will go for a very long time. Lingering black cherry and spice.

Cordero di Montezemolo 2014 Barolo Enrico VI, from the Villero cru in Castiglione Falletto, is an exotic wine. Ripeness is clearly pushed to the edge in this overt, unctuous Barolo, and silky, plush tannins add to the wine's unusual but also incredibly alluring style. Super-ripe black cherry, leather, chocolate, mocha and plum are all fused together. Readers should expect an extroverted, almost brash Barolo. I would give the 2014 at least a few years to shed some of its baby fat. There is no shortage of personality or character here. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2018)
