Baking spices, slight hint of menthol, sweet but with a funkier creamy finish, cinnamon — 6 years ago
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. — 8 years ago
Great label and really enjoyable Barbaresco made in a very classic style yet fun to drink now. — 9 years ago
Guy recommended this by Braida over the pio cesare. It was very good. — 9 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. — 7 years ago
Great vintage for drinking now and midrange Barolo price. — 9 years ago
The nose of apples and peaches continues to the palette. This Chardonnay is clean, crisp and balance and paired great with our meal. — 9 years ago
Nose is barbera on steroids. That fresh dark cherry blackberry fruit. Some elegant cough syrup. Assaults the nostrils. Just leaps at you. Complex. As this opens on day 2 nose is insane.
Palate is incredibly dense. Fresh wild Blackberry fruit. Wild young cherries. Intense balancing acidity. Almost tart. Silky tanins. A hint of herbals. Really intense. On day 2 more chocolatey. Dark but fresh blackberries. Delicious.
Long finish.
This will be a 9.4 or 9.5 in 2-3 years. I’d drink with a 2 hour decant now.

cesare. Pinot like. Hint of cantaloupe/muscat on foreground, medium body with pepper and earthy finish — 6 years ago
Very interesting nebbiolo. Garnet color, started with low aroma but opened to a complex nose. Black fruit, floral notes, licorice, plums in liquor and the tipical rustic tone that most Italian wines have. Good tannin on the mouth, very nice acidity. Good permanence in mouth. Drank it for more than 2 hours to enjoy it at its fullest. — 6 years ago
cesare. fresh fruit on the nose, ever so slightly fizzy, cranberry, high acids for rich foods, gentle midpalate tannins, cesare da casaletto 18E — 8 years ago
Soft nose. Very long . Delicious 🍷 — 8 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... — 9 years ago
