N: Decanted 3 hrs. Reddish brown.
Big cherry liqueur nose, chocolate, leather. the woods, autumnal spice.
I detect French barrique.
P: Classic young Barolo, lots of mouth filling , Dark cherries, cocoa, herbs, cheek gripping tannins.
You can sense the barrique but it’s not overdone. W Bolognese, it’s really nice.
My thought is that many of the ‘16’s were designed for earlier drinking, esp. w the use of barrique.
I reduced my score a couple pts. after extended time out.The fruit didn’t cover the wood. A trifle disappointed. — 5 months ago

Classic Nebbiolo. Initially a bit too tannic but paired perfectly with aged cheese. — 2 months ago

I generally like Fratelli Alessendria. Was hoping this 2013 barolo would be at the 9.3 - 9.4 level but not quite there. On the lighter side for barolo, both in terms of the fruit as well as the overall body and finish. Still a nice wine and a good pairing with some pheasant and elk loin, but slightly disappointed. — 4 months ago

I really like the delicate mouthfeel of this Bussia. Definitely in the lighter side, so appealing to my burgundy predilection. Not to say there aren’t some serious flavors here. A touch of menthol and wilted rose. Elegant and easy. — 2 months ago
