More tannic than the Langhe, heavy fruit than the Langhe — 10 years ago

Longer oak and bottle aging than the Cerasuolo Classico, and correspondingly more cured meat and leather and earth balancing the bright red fruit. Very pretty. Cote Rotie fans should love the acid structure and savory tones. — 10 years ago

The most fragrant and delicate of the 6 great Barolos. Similar in style to a few of the Barbarescos but with more structure. You could even call it refreshing--for a Barolo. — 11 years ago

Beautiful brilliant onion skin color. Muted nose on day one with a kind of sauvage impurity. Totally purified on day two: some vanilla, lemon curd, quince in a fresh and light expression. On the palate immediately attractive: round, smooth and light weighted. Keep it for the next day to get more. — 11 years ago

Needs a little time after chilling becomes it will definitely open up and become more expressive and aromatic. — 12 years ago

100% carricante. light oxidation and malo nose. citrus. med + body, med acidity, med body. katie says "who needs white burgundy?" about really great carricante. I think we both do. this is like a baby carricante with more crispness and a shorter finish and less dynamism. another perfect summer white. — 12 years ago

I have a cold so my nose is stuffed, but I this wine is intensely aromatic with dark Cherie and wet forest. Will do well to set aside this bottle for at least five more years. — 10 years ago

9.6

Sappy cherries, herbs, tobacco, loam. Very complex and structured for a wine with 5yrs. Delicious and calls for a Tuscan T-bone or even Hunter's Style Chicken. — 12 years ago

Really excellent, showing some restraint which may be hiding something that will come out with even more time...but delicious now — 10 years ago

Rich and full with salinity and mineral backbone. Could use a touch more acid — 10 years ago

Cf. My review of the 2013, this 2012 has the same copper colour but has a more defined, pineapple and strawberry bouquet. The taste is raspberry, strawberry and pineapple with very little if none of the candied fruit the 2012 had. A nice juicy finish. Overall a very good value and refreshing drink which is superior to the 2013. — 10 years ago

2001, Madonna delle Grazie Il Marroneto Sangiovese. A Brunello with 14 years of aging, doesn't get much better. Still has primary black fruit but layers of secondary flavors. It continues to open up and get more complex through the evening. — 11 years ago

I get the pinot/nebbiolo comparisons these wines get, but I think it acts a bit more like Grenache (aka Alicante or Cannonau in parts of Italy). I can see why they are on the rise. — 11 years ago
