Giacomo Grimaldi

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. — 7 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 1968

Oh my! Expected some oxidation, but this was showing no signs even after an hour. Dark and rich with incredible depth and complexity. Powerful and glorious nose. Dark fruit continued thru a very long finish. A great bottle. — 8 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. — 10 years ago

Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

Medium light ruby wide watery garnet rim . Ripe strawberry, cherry fruit , touch floral , dried herbs , touch of dried spices, but elegant and quite reserved . On the palate slightly darker sweet fruit , liquorice undertones , good balance with a mineral saline tinge on the decent length finish . Ripe fine tannins and balanced acidity , surprising freshness , balanced alcohol . Elegant and understated , quite light in style , really enjoyable now. Won’t be a long lived wine I suspect , so enjoy now and over the next 5-8 years . — 2 years ago
