Light and soft. Strawberry jam, golden raisins, rose petal tea and a touch of spice. Light tannins.

Light in body, bone dry. Medium acidity and surprisingly light on tannins. ETA: I was hoping food would help it. It didn't. :/

Light body, acidic, minerality. Beautiful and perfect with mushroom pasta.

Balance beauty. Sexy dark cherry, cigars and the perfect amount of acidity. The word that comes to mind is…trouble, in the best way.

Thin body, kind of a rust color. Very dry and grapey. Some black cherry qualities. Long finish.

It gets a bad rap but I thought it was a complex nebbiolo with a great finish. Soft with hints of black cherry

Bottle may have been slightly corked, so it's tough to give it a fair rating.

Great with 3rd course - pulled pork with white beans and porcini sauce. #WineChefTony

One of our least favorite in the barolo tasting, really thin with some medicinal brett.
