The oldest wines appearing on the menu at Villa Baccaris, montforte’ alba are 2000. Beautifully smooth, still complex but are all great old wines in good condition more alike than different? 390 euros. — 7 months ago
Powerful, earthy, and spicy. Dark chocolate and cassis. Still has lots of life in, so feel free to hold if you have some in your cellar. — 9 months ago
Very tannic and acidic even after a couple of hours of decanting. It needs several hours (about eight) in the decanter to calm down and open up. Earthy and smokey. Dried dark cherries, pomegranate, tar, cedar, leather, and spices. Powerful and dense. — 4 years ago

Aug 2025: PnP ready, very good nose, almost lost fruit, strong tannins. Very nice first 30 min, then faded away quickly in one hour — 10 years ago
On the nose, this is bright blackberry, raspberry, and foreboding char... On the palate, this becomes all cranberry to me... Concentrated... Juicy... Acidic... Refreshing... Leather... Tannins are just carpet-level... Bright all the way theough a long finish... Cocoa? I love a great Barbera and I chose this wine as a pairing for a Carbonara pasta dish I was making... I thought this was an outstanding pairing nicely cutting through the oiliness of the dish, playing well with the egg, and honestly the length here made it a great sipper between tastes of the pasta. Loved it. — 2 years ago

1998: Youthful. Broad on the palette, with tannins not far behind. This is the Barolo for CA Cab lovers, with a chewy, dense mouthfeel, yet packed with fruit and tasting brand new, rather than 17 years old. Also poured at Quince for white truffle menu. While not showing the same level of complexity as the 1971 or 1985 at the same meal, it was roundly admired, and preferred by some. — 10 years ago
Barolo still confounds me. Haven't found my ah ha moment yet. Constantly searching — 11 years ago
Hard mentha edge, yet full of classic favors that should develop with time. But quite yum now. — 11 years ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart fruits: Morello cherry, raspberry, cranberry, roses, tar, cool spices and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. I found this bottle to be a little shy for the first 30min or so but opened up nicely by the end of our meal. Drink now through 2040. — 6 months ago

Year 2017. Lovely fruity taste and beautiful bottle. Perfect gift to friends for Xmas. — 4 years ago
Bright fruit with nice acidity and fine tannins make this a great match for food! — 10 years ago
Beautiful color. Nice acid and full leather could probably hold another 5 years but with a little air it is beautiful! — 10 years ago
Always enjoy the 2000 Barolos. This is drinking well. Prune, cherries, elegance and well balanced. — 11 years ago
'07 vintage. Knockout aromatics. Chunky and chewy, bit of time in the decanter and the haunting perfume raises its beautiful head. Brilliant structure. Classically trained. — 11 years ago
Chewy modern style. Great wine — 12 years ago
