This 2010 Piazzo Comm. Armando Barolo Nebbiolo. From Alba, Italy I opened about a week ago.

On the nose there was cherry, plum sauce, strawberry, raisins, truffles, violets, balsamic and leather.

On the palate there was strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, spice, herbaceous, leather and clay minerality.

This wine was medium to full bodied, medium to medium + acidity, medium + fine mouthcoating grippy firm tannins that moved to a long rrd fruit clay soil finish. I hope everyone has been doing well and your weekend has been one of relaxation and fun. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Way too young. Even after a day in a decanter, it was still extremely tart. Cocoa finish just started to peek through the tar. Good thing we have another bottle.

Fairly open to drink at a young age for Barolo. Seems picked too late. On the raisin side of the flavor spectrum which turns me off. Alcohol spiking.

Not a fan of Barolos in general very tannic and unassuming. Lack luster in the palate

Great balance right now. 2015 vintage. Graceful, delicate, not imposing. The shy girl next door who could star in Hollywood but doesn't want to.

Tart, too light body. Not worth $34!!

Dried strawberry, cherry, roses, leather. Subtle hints of gravel and forest. Palate is acid driven with bright red fruit, with a hint of mid-palate sweetness and transition into a soft tannin finish, indicative of the 2012 perhaps.
