Massolino
Riserva Vigna Rionda Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
This was indeed excellent, a purple barolo not seemingly not from wood, different clone. Very classic nose of violets, tar and plenty of spice, with sour plum like fruit. Big and rich palate, huge tannin, great minerality and tension, explosive on finish thats loaded with fruit, flowers and minerals. Excellent stuff, however pricey...2004 vintage.

Aug 6th, 2023Decanted for 3 hours. Kalamata olive and forest floor. With some tar coming out around 4 1/2 hours in. Delish!

Sep 3rd, 2022Stunning on day one, unfortunately totally mute on day two after it was corked overnight. Unbelievable noses of earth and flowers and truffles. Full bodied red fruit and seemingly full of life. Really delicious. ..not sure what happened afterwards.

2004 is good now but will be even better with age.

Solid Barolo - was a bit acidic in the moment, finish was shorter than I had hoped but still enjoyable and a solid bottle.
