The 2018 Barbaresco Bordini is a dark, full-bodied wine that expresses the natural intensity of this sector in Neive. Readers will find a bold, structured Barbaresco endowed with serious depth. Black cherry, sage, menthol, licorice, mocha and spice are all kicked up in a Barbaresco that balances energy with size. The 2018 is one of the best versions of this wine I can remember tasting.

Love the story: vineyard of the parish priest in Piedmont. Forced to sell by the Catholic Church.
Beautiful note, reminds me a little of Nebbiolo: perfume, recipe red fruit, just wants you to put your nose in the glass. Little heavier on the palate with noticeable acidity and some tannins. — 5 years ago

Red wine from Neive, Italy. Of course make sure it breathes by decanting it, or pouring thru a Venturi style tube, or by pouring from 14 inches above your wine glass and letting it breathe for awhile. I poured it in a Bordeaux-shaped wine glass. This wine can take on the hearty flavors of a garlicky lasagne, or of a rosemary/mint herbed fatty rack of lamb. A hint of a peppery finish. — 5 years ago

Piedmont wine tasting: light translucent ruby, orange tinges, bricking at rim, prominent tearing • slow to open up, dried red cherry, rose petals, tar, barnyard notes, thyme • very tannic, 14% ABV, somewhat astringent finish * made from blend of Nebbiolo from six different small lots in the three villages of Treiso, Barbaresco, and Neive • would recommend a decant of 90 minutes to 2 hours — 6 years ago

Wow. Fun, fun fun. Both the bottle and the wine. Really screwed with the drawer settings on my wine fridge though. Cherry and currants but enough tannins to stand up to Ragu or a piece of meat. — 7 years ago

Drank at restaurant l'Aromatario in Neive. Tasted too young and needs more decanting or cellaring. But great barolo with good balance, very good with braised meats. 40 euros at restaurant. — 8 years ago

Without having a basis for comparison, this is a nice wine. Upon opening the nose is cherry with a touch of floral, high alcohol and light body color. Taste similarly, light with lots of cherry, smoke, tobacco, leather and tart but not fully integrated yet. As it decanted, the flavors started to meld yet never subsiding in its structure. Would like to try this after some age on it. — 5 years ago

Rivertti Massimo Viarivetti22 Rosato Langhe DOC 2020: Light. Bright. Balanced. Youthful flavors of strawberry, watermelon, cranberry & rhubarb. Short dry, yet refreshing finish. All in all, a beautifully-crafted, 100% Pinot Noir rosé from Piemonte and a perfect pairing for poolsides and summer days! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago

The 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo is fresh, vibrant and absolutely delicious. Sweet floral and red berry notes are front and center in this gorgeous, translucent Langhe Nebbiolo from Sottimano. In 2018, the fruit came from the Vigna del Parroco section of Basarin. Rose petal, lavender, mint and spice all linger on the finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

Thursday - back to wine drinking! Take that work week. With a spritz if the Coravin, half a decanted bottle, here I come.
Smells of stress from a week of clients with their networks, and crushed dried berry blend baking between some river stone.

The initial wave of relief that flows over me, is relaxing and introspective. It also tastes like unripened fruit, rock struggled vine, persimmon and black cherry.
Like the emotions I have collected, the bitter tannins have tannins of their own. Good thing I like tannins, both in wines and in clients.
