Since @Keith Crump opened a Rio Sordo I took out a Rabaja (thanks Keith for inspiring me 😁). It just kept me coming back for more. I adore those type of wines that suddenly make me forget about being "concious" what I'm drinking and make me realise it's just good! — 7 years ago

At first I wasn't sure about this but after letting it air out a bit it's pretty good. Has scents of raspberry and cherry. Medium body. Very fruity taste. Paired it with stuffed chicken Marsala. I'm still trying to figure out a Barolo wine. This is my second but much better than the first! — 8 years ago

From the great 2001 vintage. This vineyard is on the flatter country by the river where the soils are sandy. Slightly stinky nose - Fleshy palate. Great length. The full Nebbiolo package. A privilege. This was a fitting final wine in the Italian wine and Food Tour organised by Peter Scudamore-Smith MW and his wife Denise. Peter's contacts with the wineries and his depth of knowledge is exemplary. Together with the restaurants (a WOW List) and accommodation Peter and Denise provided an experience which exceeded expectations. We will be taking their Sicily trip in the next few years. Highly recommended to all Wine and Food lovers. Also this 2001 Rio Sordo was from the Produttori del Barbaresco. — 10 years ago

D'alfonso Curran. Artists. Scientists. And this is Toni tony tone feels good kind of bounce & spice, balance & funk, get this wine, drink this wine, esp if you like Tempranillo (which you do cuz you're reading this) 5 out of a possible 6 Jeffersons. — 11 years ago

Didn't agree with any tasting notes. Thought this one had a lot of sharp, tart fruits. Lemon, green apple.. etc. Love this Chardonnay. — 7 years ago

Really nice. Should definitely decant for at least an hour, could easily use more. Great earth, solid acid that keeps it refreshing, and still surprisingly persistent tannins. Overall very nice. Had at Babbo. — 9 years ago

1991 vintage when Bruno D'Alfonso was the consulting winemaker. Brick red. Lovely integrated brown spice, anise, black pepper and red fruit. Wonderfully long finish showing coastal influence. Great longevity. — 10 years ago

Holy cow this was amazing! Hints of chocolate, caramel and nuts. Almost like a nestle crunch nose but with beautiful fruit. Amazing finish and just gorgeous all around. One of my new favorite Pinots. — 11 years ago

Half the price of the Conterno at Costco ($36) and a good value. Missing the nicer reductive notes, this Barolo has the distinctive sour cherry, softer tannins, and a touch of raisiny richness. Very good. — 7 years ago

All are amazing but so far 2 and 3 are my favorite. What's most amazing is that they were in the barrel for 7 years and then opens for the past week without a wine stopper. Unbelievable freshness and life. — 10 years ago

This blew my socks off. Florality and light tar notes on the nose. Gorgeous perfectly ripe strawberries on the palate with a great tannin structure on the end. Drink this with pleasure while the Rio Sordo marinates in the cellar. — 10 years ago
