Refined Barolo! At 2008 I hope that's not an oxymoron! Dry and savoury but also silky. Preferred the Pio Cesare. — 10 years ago

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. — 10 years ago
Limey and minerality. Dry but a little fruit carries over — 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!

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 — 10 years ago
