Barolo Nebbiolo
Nose has summer roses, dried raspberry, wet leather, cherry pipe tobacco and old woodshop dust.
Palate has fresh raspberry, dried raspberry, dried cherry, old licorice with strong, dusty tannins. Decanted +10h and this wine is still a beast, I thought it would be, but wanted a progress check.
Paired to a long and slow cooked Bolognese sauce over Pappardelle. The wine worked well with the dish, albeit youthful. We're breaking our rule of 20Y min. on Barolo tonight. (I can't wait to drink the 2016's in 2036+, I hope I can still taste wine then...🤪 and maybe Delectable will provide an Android update in that timeframe.)
(Interesting post dinner note, enjoying the wine with dark chocolate covered caramel with sea salt and we're pulling a fun blueberry trait on the palate.)

Jun 19th, 2017Really flabby and dumb to start, needed an hour to show its stuff. Low aromatics of raspberries, roses, dirt and tar. Not much life left in this, unfortunately.

May 25th, 2018Fantastic Barolo - medium bodied but light and silky on the palate. Blackberries, leather, smoked currants, tobacco, with wonderful complexity and balance
