Good barolo on the verge of breaking into the tertiary territory. Concentrated lush fruits, sticky tar, asphalt and softening tannines. I prefer them a step further down the road so I’ll revisit in two years.

"It's got a lot of pizzazz" says Chris Dunn. Good body, not sweet, not very dry. Delish.

Big fan of the Nebbiolo grape, but not this one. Clearly someone had sabotaged the vineyard with South American gamay grapes! I am not a fool and do not appreciate false advertising. If this was labeled as such, I'd award this varietal a 9.5 because it's rather pleasing. However, given the circumstances, I have no choice but to award this "wine" the lowest possible score ever.

Love me some Nebbiolo grape. This is a bossman wine. If you're not a bossman, do not bother drinking this. BIG grape and strawberry on the nose. Big strong tannins, like a bull market, but the wine version.

Hard mentha edge, yet full of classic favors that should develop with time. But quite yum now.
