L'Insieme Vino Rosso da Tavola Red Blend

Broad fresh fruit. A tang of sour cherry with notes of tobacco, black cherry, leather. Dense on the palate and vigorous. Good drinking — 6 years ago

Totally fine but not exciting. Nose after opening quite nice.

Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

Lovely even this young. Sure, its tannic, but excellent balance. Showing better than the Elio Altare due to no obvious oak. — 8 years ago

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2007

This tastes even more full bodied against the Altare Barolo I drink the kool aid when it comes to Tig- the 07 is one of the best vintages out there. — 6 years ago

Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

A bit young but the vintage is so approachable. Very earthy and funky but oh so complex and delicious. Ahhh, Barolo, you keep me guessing. — 7 years ago

La Morra Barolo Nebbiolo 2000

Perfect with hour decant. Brambly, tarry and some campfire smoke. Leathery and dark, slightly tart cherry fruit with fine drying tannins. In a perfect place but at least 5 years to peak. — 8 years ago

Bric Balin Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

Similar to the Elio Altare Barolo tasted recently this is aged in Barriques so this is a modern rendition of Barbaresco. The oak is brilliantly handled, does not intrude and gives the wine a good balance. Earthy leathery aromas with a lush fluid palate of medium intensity finishing with fine tannins. Bought in Alba in 2015. At Willos Italian night. — 7 years ago

La Villa Langhe Barbera Nebbiolo 1996

Great at first, extremely complex. Flavors of barbecue sauce, cedar, leather, wood, tobacco and mint. After about an hour the mint flavor became extremely bitter making the wine less enjoyable. — 9 years ago

Still young. Soft tannis with carmel on the nose with tobacco and stone fruit on the mid palate. Good finish. — 11 years ago
