Surprisingly tasty sub-$40 Barolo. Spot-on typical Barolo notes, great anise flavors, no overt sweetness… just a well made wine. Jimmy’s Food Store

Saw this on the shelf and it was the last one! So good. Decanted and it's ready to go. Very pretty nose violets and blue and red fruit. Good tannins mid palate and a clean finish. Very food friendly. SM

Dry sour cherries with a cedar tobacco leaf box. Finish kind of falls off.

Decant. Enjoy a little with spicy salami and cheese while preparing dinner. Then an hour later, enjoy the rest with your meal. Really smooths out and shines after an hour. Beautiful!
