Barolo Nebbiolo
Ruby with a bouquet of fruit, spices, leather and licorice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with notes of pepper, smoky tobacco, herbs and cacao. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with earthy sweet notes. Good now!

Apr 20th, 2024Decanted less than an hour but still strutted its stuff during a sloppy Knicks first playoff win: rose petals, ripe red cherries, autumnal leaves, all folded into an elegant fine tannin & medium bodied, svelte charmer.

Apr 16th, 2023So lithe- & so young. Decant the heck of it. Very delicate confluence of Barolo flavors- where is that 14.5%? Lovely roses, tar.

Jan 11th, 2021Punches so far above it’s price point it’s absurd. Perceptible oak but elegantly integrated with generous dusty cherry fruit. A barolo that is enjoyable young and pnp. Edit: subtracted 0.2 for the whipping headache afterwards

Dec 7th, 20204-5 hour decant at first thought barely opened this quality Barolo but in glass we got some preview of its future majestic state. Initially utterly sealed on the nose. Very strong tannins still need integration & the perfumed rose & Black fruits were coaxed out by much glass swirling. So not complete infanticide but kinda close. Still fascinating though to glimpse the inner power of a developing Barolo
