Brunate Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Finally! Barolo at last. Nothing is like Nebiolo from Barolo in the glass, especially one that has had time to mature. The color wants to say, "I'm mature Burgundy!", but the rest of the wine says otherwise.
The nose is unique, with the unmistakable aroma of fresh rose petals, followed by cigar ash, red apple skin, wet pine needles, and tar.
This wine was decanted for 4 hours before consumed, and the tannins were as gripping as if I just opened it and poured it. The juice exhibited notes of sour dark cherries, raspberry tart, black tea, rose water, bay leaf, and a faint smoke tinge, all stretched out evenly through the lingering finish. Twas a true treat, and yet this puppy could have laid down to rest for another 15 years, still singing of its youth.
I paired this with what I made for dinner: Pan seared Bison Loin, with a cognac shallot sauce, and sautéed mushrooms, with steamed kale and garlic cloves.
Perfection.
$49.99

A house warming gift that didn't make it till midnight. A delicious expanding bottle. Opened for a few hours of breathing . It kept on giving to the last drop.

Incredible! A wild-card pairing for BBQ pork ribs, but the dark fruit flavors, full body and tannins of this Barolo will work perfectly against the fatty meat. This wine is just starting to come into its drinking window, and it’s oh-so-good!
