Trentaquattro 34 Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Nose of complex spices, tar, roses, flowers and big time cherry. Cinnamon and clove. Really on point nose. Deep minerals and aromas of chestnut. Palate has tons of sweet fruit and is very concentrated and pure. Big and ripe tannins that are substantial and fine grained. Long, chewy finish and wonderful purity. Big cherries and intermingled with spice on the palate. Long finish. Dynamite. There is a hint of tomato on the nose but adds does not detract. Wonderful opulence and mouthfeel.

Terrific juiciness and inner mouth aromas and intense sweetness and voluminous fruit yet with all that this is so so fresh. Incredible mid palate and insane crushing fruit and velvety tannins. Wow.

Oh wow. This is epic.
Nose is a deep pink rose. Jam your Shnozz in it deep and dense.
Palate is sweet juicy delicious fruit. A hint of spice. Finish is like a lingering Mozart note. So beautiful.
Still a bit grippy tanin wise. So still has a while to go.
Elite balance and aromatics. Got a 97 in decanter. It might hit that in 5-10.
$48 at fass hahahahhaaha.

Stunning bottle of 2013 Barolo. Incredible fruit and aromatics. Huge florals, huge tar, huge minerals. Wow. Perfumed. Dried roses. Fresh potting soil. Chestnut. Tobacco. Insane. Palate is incredible. Huge huge fruit. Almost a crystalline purity. Wow. Big tannins and structure but perfectly ripe. Amazing spice and depth. Huge fruit soak. Mid season cherry. Thoroughly ripe. Amazing balance and freshness. So long. A baby but super impressive.

There is almost no red left to this bad boy, a complex color of brick, caramel,brown, roan.
The nose has a deep, delicious, stickiness, tar, spice, carob, clove, burnt orange peel, more. A swirl brings more.
There’s citrus in the nose, but it’s deep and teasing. Smelling, your mind wanders to places known and unknown.
P: is luscious, completely balanced. Tannins present but integrated. Liquorice, menthol, cocoa,mushrooms , dark red candy, the woods, creosote that lingers and turns into sweet tar. A complete pkg.
I believe at peak.
One of the finest Baroli I’ve encountered.
Thanks@ FassSelections

2013: Solid Barolo, drinking well now. Serious and relatively full-bodied, with plenty of classic tertiary Barolo flavors like menthol, tar, leather along with sour cherry fruit. Tannins are firm but not overwhelming. Would rate this even higher but doesn’t have the fruit concentration of the greats. One critic gave this a 98 (!). $43 - good deal - at Gary’s.
