Bussia Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Lyle Fass
9.3

Nose is aromatic and ripe with a hint of stewed tomato to start off. Mid season cherry and really bright. Wish that overripe tomato was not there. It slowly blows off but on PNP it is prominent. Cherry flower. Tar. Spice. Nice nose. Not great. Palate is ripe and juicy but slightly broad with good balance, purity and freshness. Big tannins that I associate with Bussia. Good power and depth. No finesse. Solid not special. Maybe air helps?

UPDATE/ Air did help.this. 9.0 to 9.3. More silkiness and clearly defined fruit.

Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Wonderful old world style with great earth notes. Medium fruit. Slight barnyard, which I like. However it lacks mid palate structure and therefore is ny a great Barolo — 8 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. — 7 years ago

Eggo Franco Cabernet Franc 2016

Great cab franc from Uco, if you are into that style. Fruity (no oak whatsoever), but certainly not sweet or syrupy. Fairly acidic, and with a distinct mineral taste, like chalk or graphite. Lighter bodied than a cab sauvignon or a malbec (lighter colors, etc.) But still a powerful wine. — 7 years ago

Piede Franco Carignano del Sulcis 2011

Carignano del Sulcis DOC 2011, 13.5%.
Bottle tasted in October 2014. Limited quantities produced with Carignano gapes from pre-phylloxera vineyard located right next to the beach and the sea, on the South West coast of Sardinia Island.
Color is a bit brown, but nose is quite rich: sweet, vinous, light pastry, liquored cherries, and even a little green.
In the mouth rich of smooth tannins and taste of licorice, almost a "chewable" wine. I really liked it!
