A great Barolo with energy for days. Nose is heavenly spices, tar, roses, oolong tea and dried leaves. Gorgeous nose. 9.7 nose. Palate has so much energy and depth. Perfectly ripe cherries and terrific complex minerals and sauce, ripe tannins. Unreal purity and length. An outstanding wine. — 2 days ago

Opened several hours prior to service and poured into a ship’s decanter. The 1967 “Riserva” pours a ruddy garnet color with a transparent core and a slightly orange-ish rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. Some slight signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but the fruit is still showing so well! A mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a slightly savory. This is drinking so well right now and I reckon it’s on a plateau of pleasure. It almost seems evergreen considering its vigor. Drink now because you’ve already waited long enough! — 6 months ago

Very enjoyable simpler dolcetto. Great with pizzas on a warm summer day by the pool with a slight chill. — 9 months ago

2018 vintage. Every sip is a wow. Perfect tannins. It’s the bottle you finish way too fast because it’s way too delicious. — 9 days ago

The Millenials Barolo”. Labeled in protest to the excessive bureaucracy in the Italian classification system. Always a good choice. A bit more fruit forward than I prefer. — 5 months ago

Not Ambrosan. A big boy that’s now lived it’s full life. Dark, earthy, and mysterious. — 8 months ago

Its actually 1967...Very tertiary aromas and taste, more like tea leaves and infusion. Not really our style of Barolo but was a nice experience to try. Was probably great when still on the fruit.

Light in body, yet robust in flavor. A ruby red hue with medium body and nose like fresh cut red fruit, and slight pepper spice. Acidity is bright and sharp, could use a year or 2 of age, with notes of slightly underripe strawberries, black cherries and red berries, white pepper, slate and a long dry finish that feels almost like menthol or mint, but not as specific. — 3 months ago

New style barolo. Delicate, light, floral, feminine. Easy drinking missing a bit of power. — 5 months ago

Lovely Barolo. Perfect drinking window right now. More towards a burgundy compared to what I am used to. Very much rose hip and dried roses in the nose and taste. Nice acid and well integrated tannins. Brilliant wine 🤩 — 8 months ago
