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. — 10 months ago

Bricco Bussia Vigna Cicala Barolo Nebbiolo 1989

Dark tawny color. Powerful nose. Notes of black plum, tea, roses, black earth and some anise. Balanced. Rounded out over 8 hours. In a great zone right now. Everything you want in a nicely aged Barolo. Give it its needed air. — 6 years ago

Otin Fiorin Piè Franco-Michet Barolo Nebbiolo 1996

My WOTN! A "complete" Barolo, kinda out of a school book, that had it all: noble tannins, freshness and a first evolution into maturity. Huge layers of red berries, dried flowers, pipe tobacco, cedar and a bit of menthol. A touch fresher and more intense in the aromatics and tannins than the 1999 Rupestris. — 6 years ago

Unrestrained jealousy :-). Very cool that you had an opportunity to drink that! One thing to drink 40 yr old Barolo, another thing to drink 40 yr old Conterno!

Riva del Bric Barolo Nebbiolo 2008

Required almost 2 hours of decanting. It was quite the experience because this Barolo continued to evolve and provide new flavours throughout the night. Plums, figs, berries, strawberries, raspberries, followed by vanilla, oak, humidor notes, earth, mild herbaceousness, truffles. Tannins are big, chewy but soft and persist for a long time. It’s a complex wine that provides gifts of new flavours that are very well integrated. — 5 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 1968

Oh my! Expected some oxidation, but this was showing no signs even after an hour. Dark and rich with incredible depth and complexity. Powerful and glorious nose. Dark fruit continued thru a very long finish. A great bottle. — 7 years 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

Barolo Nebbiolo 1997

Very good Nebbiolo from a strong producer and a good vintage. In very good shape plenty of fruit and acid. Should be good for another 5-7 years — 9 years ago

Ginestra Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Feels like infanticide to drink such a young Barolo, but a lot going on here already. Powerful yet delicate with nice crushed dark fruit notes. — 10 years ago
