Fascinating side by side with the Pio Cesare ornato 2000. This had an unusual amount of sweet cherry fruit and was a new world bright contrast to the pio cesare. I really enjoyed this. The ornato is supposed to be more new world but it was very old world to me in contrast to the la spinetta barbaresco. — 9 years ago

Very good little wine from the Cesare. Nose is clean with good fruit. The palate is juicy and approachable mild tannins, good acidity, the finish will develop in the right direction. Very happy — 11 years ago

1965. Birth year wine on birthday. Pronounced nose, weak in the middle, tired at the finish. But enough about me, the wine was great. Interesting at first with ripe strawberry, cherry, forest floor, cedar notes, long finish. After opening up bell pepper flavors emerged, which was fine but others may not like. I enjoy these old bottles made by the Mondavi family, this one signed by Cesare. Enriches the experience to know you are drinking an historic, old wine made by an iconic family. — 8 years ago

Funny how after a full tasting of primarily California stuff this acidity really shines on this single vineyard barbera. Fantastic. — 11 years ago

Wow!
45 yr old California Cab that is simply sublime! Old school acidity 12%, to preserve the lovely mature fruit and forest floor notes. Started out at 49 degrees and let it get air to accelerate the development from reduction to full expression of lovely Claret style Cab glory!
From the master winemaker - Cesare Mondavi!!
Bravo! — 11 years ago

Love this Chardonnay from Piemonte. You really can't go wrong with this region. Super buttery, oaky, & freaking delicious. #chardonnay #wine #winelover #whitewine #buttery #oaky #mouthfeel #piedmontwines #piemonte — 11 years ago

A perfect follow up to Pio Cesare. It really makes sense tasting them side by side to feel the difference of masculine Barolo and feminine Barbaresco. Luscious black plums, white pepper and roses... — 10 years ago

Refined Barolo! At 2008 I hope that's not an oxymoron! Dry and savoury but also silky. Preferred the Pio Cesare. — 11 years ago

9.2

Medium red hue with perhaps a hint of orange. The nose is a very pleasant and inviting dark red fruit with tar, cedar, tobacco, spice, and a hint of eucalyptus. Red and cassis flavors, tar and spice flavored on the palate. Medium length finish at the most which ends with with moderate mouth coating tannins that dominate at the end. Slightly more oxidized on the second day. Paired nicely with braised beef short ribs in red wine; which also help subdue the tannins. Decent wine for the money but not as good as the (similarly aged) 2000 Pio Cesare Oranato. — 11 years ago
