Solid Freisa, classical yet approachable. A great #pinotlover replacement — 7 years ago
100% Nebbiolo
Bricked purple. Opaque, non transparent. Compact rim. Looks its age.
Aromas full of earthy characters. Black truffle, ashes, damp soil, wet rotten woods, with licorice flavored coffee, slight hint of dark chocolate.
Structurally, this wine has a long way to go yet. Substantial but completely integrated tannin, medium to med full body (14.5 abv), medium to med plus acidity, dry. Dried black cherry, fig, prune and plum. Fine texture. Mineral and ashy notes. Dusty. Balanced, carrying through from the first sip until the finish. Last very long on that enticing dried fruit and ashy profile.
At a great place to drink now. At $30+ in NYC, this's got to be my find of the year so far. Amazing bottle. Loved by everyone I shared with. 92. — 8 years ago
Really nice wine specially with a piece of meet — 9 years ago
Dark rich nose of toffee and plums. A bit floral. On the palate lighter than you would expect from an Amarone, but pleasant with a grip at the finish. — 9 years ago
Shared a 26-year-old wine with Matt and Kim. Opened up nicely with a bit of leather and nice fruit. — 10 years ago

So sad, our last meal @inoteca. '96 Borgogno Riserva and truffled egg toast make for a marvelous send-off! Thank you 'inoteca! #inotecalastsip — 11 years ago
Don't like sweet wines but this is an exercise in restraint. Clean, uncloying sweetness, acidity, and flowery, bright aromas all balanced on a razors edge — 6 years ago
Delicious with a roast - very nice Barbera — 8 years ago
Floral and feminine but excellent structure. This is a wine made with kindness, and you can taste it. Exceptional. — 10 years ago
This may be my favorite all time wine. Slightly sweet, yet savory, with a luscious mouth feel. — 10 years ago
A bit of spice in a barbera — 11 years ago
Quite fruity for a Barolo, with dark fruit dominant. Very nice structure with juicy, ripe tannins, nice balance, a sharp edge adds complexity. Already drinkable. — 6 years ago
Great dry wine to have with a meal! — 7 years ago
Ripe, fresh cherry on the nose. Raspberry. Low tannin presence and a very light, ethereal body. Slight herbal notes on the finish, which is fairly long — 7 years ago
Such a great lil wine. Ripe cherries, pops of raspberry, followed by waves of tobacco and sweet-wood smoke. Bright acidity, backed by just the right amount of structure. — 8 years ago
Beautiful color. Nice acid and full leather could probably hold another 5 years but with a little air it is beautiful! — 9 years ago
Great with Jazz and a Caesar salad. — 10 years ago
Warm fruit on the nose that combines with a velvety palate of berries and licorice.. Elegant, flavorful and in a good place right now but will age.. — 10 years ago
Classic Barolo, great bottle to end a great dinner — 10 years ago
