This No Name Nebbiolo needs no introduction. Fruity and earthy with lovely acidity makes for nice pairing with Rao’s wonderful pasta dishes. Delicious and easy drinking. — 24 days ago

Riserva Barolo 1947

Soft brown in color. Toasted notes with dried fruit, soft plum, tar and some high toned acidity. A slightly austere palate but a haunting fragrant quality. Very pretty. You need to lean in a bit to see the beauty — a month ago

Fossati Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.

Red fruits on the nose with light oak, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and black pepper.

Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

What a delicious Barolo. Elegant and rich. Complex and interesting. Well balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

The 2019 vintage in Barolo was excellent. This Single Vineyard is particularly unique for the vintage as it is already very approachable.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 20 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years.

Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 4 years.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$120.

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1924

The color of weak coffee with some bottle of the bottom gunk. Va on the nose and light notes of roses and dried fruit. On the palate very pure and lifted. Obviously aged but softening with air and bright and pretty. What a surprise given it’s a centurion. — a month ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

昔、ずいぶん綺麗で良かったのだが、最後に飲んだのが、ボリューム感が強くなって、それ以来ご無沙汰。調べてみたら2018で、どちらかと言うと雨の多いしんどい年だったようなんだけど、なんでだろ…

まぁそれはともかく久しぶりに飲んだこちらは、初めて飲んだ時のいいイメージが帰ってきて、素晴らしい出来。
赤い花系の華やかさ、チャーミングな酸とタンニン、すごく良い感じにまとまっている。

プチバローロ ではなく、ランゲネッビオーロとしての独自性を有している。

ペアリング的には鰹ではなく、鰯のトマト煮にピッタリ。
多分、赤身の魚ではなく、青魚が良いんだと思う。

Derthona Barolo timmorasso 2022

Dark golden in color.

Strong nose that resembles a Burgundy Chardonnay.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, lemons, yellow apples, spices, minerals, light earth, wood, honey and herbs.

Long delicious and tangy finish.

This is a new grape variety for me. What a delicious surprise.

This white wine from Piedmont feels like a good quality White Burgundy. Tastes like it was aged in oak barrels, even though it wasn't.

Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years, and see how it evolves. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and very enjoyable by itself or with food.

100% Timmorasso grapes were aged in stainless steel vats for 12 months on the lees. A small production of only 10,000 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Barolo Riserva Speciale 1931

Tar and dried flowers on the nose. Lovely resolved dried fruit. Some lifted floral notes with a sherried tang to the end of the midpalate. Great mouthfeel for its age. Good stuff- and really delicate notes coming through — a month ago

Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1970

Dense and masculine. Broad white thick fruit. Nice rounded edges. Lacks a little of the complexity of the 67 and 64 but good solid fruit. — a month ago

Antichi Vigneti Propri Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1964

Love it when older bottles don’t disappoint. Not the 64 Monfortino, for sure, but not a slacker. — 2 months ago
