Buon Padre Barolo Nebbiolo

Molto scuro ed intenso per un 2015. Ottimo

2017 molto molto buono! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Big tannins, high acid, violets and roses, sour black cherry, rhubarb... all the hallmarks of a great Barolo. At this age it’s got some leather, but there will be more tertiary notes at year 10. A Barolo this big should be good for the long haul. No faults, traditionally produced, delicious... drinking now with the fruit of 2013.

Polished and delicious.

Tasted at the Pittsburgh wine festival. I’ll try to rate more of the wines I tasted but for now, here’s my fave Barolo of the night. 🌹 #pghwinefestival

Unusual dusty meaty nose and front palate with restrained dark fruit - pulls up a little short but still very acceptable.

Not too shabby for a Tuesday night! Lots of forest floor!

Beautiful and deep. Nice black and red fruit with the recognizable tar and rose on the nose. Like to think I would bail this in a blind tasting.

Still vibrant, maybe just past peak but lovely complexity, smoked meat and jerky with rose and bruised fruit, cocoa powder, little bit of anise and floral, still fresh and evolving in glass. Structure is medium minus, acidity is med plus.

Delicious Barolo. Haven’t had this producer before. Quite classic with an edge of modernity in the seamlessness of the finish. Great dark fruit, bit of earth and leather, excellent acid, tannins are obviously there but not overwhelming (especially with steak). Quite delicious.
