Cerretta Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Delectable Wine
9.6

The 2019 Barolo Cerretta has shut down considerably since I last tasted it, but the elements are also more put together in that the wine is a harmonious whole rather than a combination of individual components. Dark red fruit, rose petal, orange peel, spice and dried herbs are beautifully sketched. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024)

Gran Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

Heady and heavy. This had dark color and tasted of dark fruit combined with wet earth. It was fragrant but not overly so. I loved the balance and the mouthfeel but it did seem a tad under punching vs normal. — 9 months ago

Mosconi Barolo Nebbiolo 2003

A amazing...!!! Eucalyptus. Oak some minty hints..still vibrant. Is this a Barolo?? Drying tannins...yes definitely but a modern expression of it. I think they use French barriques here... supposedly 2003 was a hot year and the wine would not hold up... guess what??? It did and it can still go for another 5, maybe 8 or 10 more years... there are no even signs of oxidation.. the color is vibrant ruby... this is why I drink wine !!! — 5 years ago

Vignota Barbera d'Alba 2022

Sour cherries is about all I get right now and the finish coupled the higher acid had a bit of a bitter end to it. — 3 months ago

Conterno Gattinara Nebbiolo 2020

Delectable Wine
9.4

The 2020 Gattinara is elegant and lifted. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon and orange peel grace this ethereal, nuanced Gattinara. Bright saline notes and sweet red-toned fruit build into the long, persistent finish. Understated and silky, the 2020 is exquisite. All this needs is a few years to soften.

Vigna del Gris Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

This was a pleasant surprise - it was in great shape. The aged components were accents rather than dominating. So happy compared to some past 2010 openings. — 4 months ago

Colonnello Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

Probably my favourite producer of Barolo...never had a bad bottle. This is young with bracing tanins but it is already so approachable. Cherries, leather and menthol dominate but there is so much depth. Lovely wine! — 8 months ago
