Ciabot Mentin Barolo Nebbiolo

Gorgeous wine. Tart and dried fruits, with spice and savory elements. Delicate and balanced. A joy on its own.

Showing well but the International hints in style still dominate more than I care for

Weighty and serious, with promise of more elegance to come. The oak is well integrated. Good value purchase from the Garagiste guy.

JR Mystery 107. $40.

Слива и черные ягоды, сдержано, пока еще чуть закрыто, кожа, сигарный ящик, глубоко. Вкус весьма полный, фруктово-табачный, с плотными танинами. Сильно, держать. 17/20 (92/100)

Classic Barolo and was decent pairing with eggplant parm.

Nice single vineyard Barolo recommended by the sommelier.

Color of light red mixed with black tea and brown sugar. Dark yellow on the rim. A bit hazy. Nose of condensed dried cherry, black pepper, a bit balsamic vinegar, salty bacons, and some wet earthy note. Taste of nice black tea flavor, mix of cherry and strawberry note, intense oak and cedar wood, firm tannins, balsamic acid, tobacco leaf, and some spice note like clove. The taste is a mirage of different nice and saturated Barolo signatures and surpass the nose for sure. Aftertaste is lingering flavors of aforementioned flavors and still powerful tannins. Overall very good Barolo to enjoy now or shelf for several more years to come.

so darn good I wished I could've drunk enough to vomit it back up and taste it again.

Fabulous. Takes me right back to Piedmont. Another Garagiste winner.
