Big, masculine Barolo. Drinking well but more nuance will come with age. Literally garage wine. From vines in Bussia to the garage in Monforte. — 2 years ago

Adam Beasley
9.0

Low tannin, medium acid, and a medium-, but smooth and round, mouthfeel made this effortless to drink. Aromas and flavors of cherry, cherry, and every kind of cherry I’ve ever encountered. Simple in the best way, but sort of irresistible too. — 4 years ago

Léon Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Ryan Guy
9.5

Celebration wine (paid off the Tundra).... This is layered and evolving, with a nose of tobacco smoke, tar, black plum, cherry kirsch, dried violet and rose, bay leaf, sage, anise, and blackcherry. Round, sweeter dark berry and cherry fruit on the palate. Structure builds in mouthcoating tannin balanced by rich acidity. Spice box, leather and tar on the mid-palate. Acidity is still fresh, almost tart, and lifts a finish that is balanced and lingers for 60+ seconds. Underripe cherry and gravel. A touch of warmth speaks to the vintage and comune. This over-delivers at the price point with outstanding complexity, depth and length. Hold for 3-5 more years, then enjoy over an evening. — 6 years ago

A nice mix of black/blue/red fruits, lightly spiced, Medium to full bodied, feels like a bit of whole bunch (?) nicely dry savoury finish, tannic, crisp acidity. 93 as I thoroughly enjoyed sitting at their new cellar door with the afternoon sun filtering through the gums. — 5 years ago

@Bob McDonald it was ok! surprisingly easier than I thought (same went for my partner Niki). I think it took about 2 weeks to really feel the difference, at which point yes, sleep was better, starting the week felt better (we do drink more fri/sat/sun), all in all a good break that also saved us some money :) However … having a nice glass of wine is a real pleasure both in the taste aspect, but also the social/shared experience angle. Also a good reminder of how much drinking is baked into our society (with both good and bad ramifications). Coming out of it, as mainly a red drinker, I’m also seeking out more medium bodied styles vs the bigger reds I have probably leaned to in the past - sort of a taste re-alignment.
