Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

2017 vintage. Medium body. Upon opening, fairly compact for a “resto vintage”. The usual tar and dark cherry notes. The longer this was open, the more fanciful it got. French Toast. Cola nut. Chambord. Eucalyptus. White pepper. Pomegranate/hibiscus. Transitioned into a Barolo/(red) Burgundy hybrid. Not enuff structure to go more than 4-5 years in this current uniform. Would attempt another open field tackle again in the near future tho. If you wanna crush an above-decent Barolo tonight without infanticide/ca$hi$h/non-compliant tannin issues, you could do immeasurably worse. 12.15.24. — 5 months ago

Mosconi Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

15 year old fruits as if they where picked yesterday. Firm but friendly tannines, tar, roses and campfire ash. Deep, compelling and complex. Outstanding! — 6 months ago

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. — 7 months ago

Antichi Vigneti Propri Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1967

Opened just prior to service and poured into a decanter. This is the second time I have had the opportunity to enjoy the 1967 Riserva although, the previous bottle was a more recent library release from the Borgogno cellars. This was a period release and yet, the experience was similar.

The 1967 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core moving towards a slightly orange rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some slight signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but showing much more power than the ‘67 Abbazia SS Annunziata we drank on the same evening. Again, there is a lovely mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a savory. My previous notes suggested to drink now and while I still hold fast to that statement, twice in the span of 18mos with two separate bottlings encourages me to be a bit more bullish and suggest this has many years, perhaps decades left in the tank.

Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Reddish in color with medium intensity.

Strong fruity nose and medium in body, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, chocolates and earth.

Medium finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very young Barolo from Piedmont. Elegant and powerful.

This Single Vineyard Nebbiolo is already drinking very nicely, and better with food.

A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.
