Barbera d'Alba 2024

Mo
9.0

More in alignment with WS review: “Cherry, raspberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors mark this perfumed red. Racy and elegant, with defining acidity. Persistent finish. Drink now through 2028. 3,300 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.” — Bruce Sanderson… Versus WE: “Like a garden at twilight, this Barbera lifts with violets and lavender before diving into a pool of plums and boysenberries, kissed by fresh herbs. The palate mirrors this purple-fruited dance with juicy precision. Give it a slight chill and watch it become the life of the party.” — Jeff Porter. — a month ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

Medium Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits and spicy floral notes. On the palate flavors of tart cherry, blueberry and red plum with pepper spice, burnt toast and herbs. Fine chalky tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice, floral and slight earthy character. Has short term aging benefit, but nice now! — 12 days ago

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Balsamic notes with a trace of mint. Barely medium weight with a soft fleshy palate - red cherries, spice and sweet herbs. This palate reflects the fact that 2013 was a good to very good vintage in Barolo. Great length at the finish. The first of 3 from my cellar. — 5 days ago

Langhe Rosso Red Blend 2023

I don't really need to post this anymore because I drink it frequently and it's always great. Introduced our friend Val to Vajra tonight, though, and that is super fun!

Marcenasco Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

Phenomenal. Given its 21 years of age (tasted in 2026) so alive and vibrant. Tannic and structured but I will say it gave me that blackcurrant and old book smell immediately but the palate was a live and "young" as it opened it up via decanting, the tar, cedar, and rich red fruit began to open up with touches of earth and mushrooms. Great wine. Honestly, towards the last tasting, I got hints of sweet and sour tamarind. — 4 days ago

Pio Cesare

Barolo Nebbiolo 2021

Had a blood red color that was consistent throughout the glass. Smelled of red fruit and tasted of cherry and had a dry feeling from tannins. — 13 hours ago

Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

Ah, Vietti. Always good. Our dear friend Val has flown in for my wife's birthday, and we are popping a few bottles tonight. This is a very nice expression of Nebbiolo. Lively and fruity, with a touch of rose petal and a little chocolate (on the nose).

Bricco delle Viole Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

2019 vintage. Decanted and tasted after one hour. Medium body. Vibrant and drinking great now but a decade wait might just up the ante. Tough to lay off tho. 2.20.26. — 13 days ago
