Giachini Barolo Nebbiolo
This young buck still has the tannin to rip your mouth apart. Still developing. Nice dried red fruit character.

Aug 26th, 2015Terrific wine. Fully mature. Tannins are mostly resolved. Resiny, balsamic. Long finish.

Sep 27th, 2020Highly fragrant rose petal nose with deep red cherry, truffle, mushroom, anise, shifting to blueberry. Some alcohol on the nose as well. Thick and smooth on the palate, with surprisingly big, drying tannins on the finish. Good length of ripe red cherry on the finish along with wood notes. Took two hours to open up. A bit opulent, but a Barolo through and through.

Aug 15th, 2016Unbelievably classic. The mushroom, truffle, and red fruit just dances and the acid and tannin structure is so interesting. Reminds me why I fell in love with Barolo!
