Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo

Been 2 years and wow is this a stunner. Nose is gorgeous with mashed roses, tobacco, cigar, spice and other florals. Some rich cherry fruit as well. Red all the way. Really perfumed and aromatic. Just stunning. Palate is rich and deep with awesome freshness and cut and such velvety and sweet tannins. Unreal finish and delicacy. Terrific clarity and purity of fruit. Tannins getting bigger with air but it’s so gorgeous and balanced. Amazing length to the finish.

Amazing. So supple and elegant. STUNNING.

One of the best new Barolos to come into my life. The 17 is another hit. Wow. Nose is so serene and floral. The most vivid florals one can imagine. Just insane. You really smell like the petals of red roses are being rubbed over and over the aroma just keeps delivering that perfect fresh initial aroma. Glorious. What a site Ravera is. Spice as well and glorious mid season cherry fruit. Wow this nose is a 9.8 knockout. Unreal palate with just terrific sweet fruit and energy. An abundance of sweet, velvety tannins and just unreal clarity of sweet mid to late season cherry fruit. Such purity. Such length. Long as the day is in mid July. Wow. A knockout. Stunning. The nose the most intense mineral/umami element. Sweet baking spices starting to develop. This is so good and I did not expect it to be this good. This needs to develop and come together on the palate a bit more but it is all there and I’ll track throughout the day.

-after many hours the nose is ethereal, gorgeous incense and tree bark, earth and truffle. Wonderful texture and the tannins are velvety now and so refined. This will need age but it’s a brilliant wine.

just a gorgeous and very floral nose today. Really compelling. Deep minerals. Flower petals and so vivid and detailed. Juicy, bright, precise and compact. So clean, velvety tannins and wonderful length. Really long and super juicy. Spectacular. Insane freshness. 9.6 to 9.7 overnight.

Sickness. No formal notes. A sensual experience.

Wow. Sick wine. Just sick. 16 Barolo is crazy. Nose is so floral and layered it’s crazy just wow. Cherries from heaven. Cherry cough drop when god gets a sore throat. Not pennies. Floral. Like way way floral. So damn impressive. Tar, leather and tobacco, smoke, so so so complex. Mint, menthol. Tree bark. Heaven. Ethereal. 9.6/9.7 on nose. Dried roses. Fresh roses. Incredible. Palate is haunting. Gives one shivers down the spine. It opens like crazy. Elegant and so pure. Dazzlingly pure. Elite finesse and fruit quality. This makes one’s stomach drop. The level of detail and finesse is crazy. Beautiful pure cherry fruit. Just so detailed. And driven by finesse. Juicy and concentrated with velvety but substantial tannins and not a hair out of place. So so pure. I can’t say it enough. This is sick. How is this better than the Saffirio label? It just is. This is elite elite elite. Super elite. I can’t. This is a 9.8. The balanced is supernatural.

Just a beautiful wine. So elegant. Light in color, but oddly serious dark plumalicious. Smooth tannins. Another wine that forces u to sit and contemplate through the evening. Perplexing how it is drinking so well while relatively young.

Genius winemaker. Burgundian barolo. From Fass Selections. Great juice.

Peter had this 3 years ago

N: Roses, clove, tar, moist damp earth,
Cinnamon, depth, ever changing, herbs, dark and light,cocoa, eucalyptus…
P: Rose hips, subdued citrus ( blood orange), earth, some woodiness, great balance of acid, tannins, and lip smacking texture. Delicious as it unfurls.
I’d love to see this a few years down the line. Decanted 21/2 hrs. Could do more.
Definitely calls for protein.
Thanks @FassSelections

Wowza.

Nose is intense rose cherry. Almost like an incense.as this opens lilacs. More delicate. More elegant and penetrating and less magnitude.

Palate is sweet spice. Sick medium cherry. More succulent than the saffirio line. As it opens a hint of chocolate. Compelling spice.
