Shows the age but still lots of good fruit. Resolved dark cherry, wood, orange rind, some band aid. Lovely clarity and balance. Some sweetness and loads of character — 3 years ago

A lot of wine in one glass. Full, foot-on-the-gas dark red fruit, but went down easy. A little hairy chested for Sunday night pizza, but fun nonetheless. — 5 years ago

16/20 (89/100) Аромат кожи, чёрных ягод, лакрицы и шоколада, при этом фруктовая составляющая выглядит приглушенно. В развитии проявляются ноты табака. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, замшевыми по текстуре танинами. Строгое во вкусе. — 6 years ago

Don’t be fooled by its light color. This wine has bold flavor yet is very smooth and soft on the palate. — 8 years ago

What a beautiful wine. Surprisingly approachable and soft for a young Nebbiolo, while still showing the structure and harmony these wines are famous for. For the money, a 10! — 8 years ago

1982 Bruno Giacosa Serralunga d'Alba Riserva Barolo. Second red at post-museum lunch at Il P. Drank this alongside the '82 Giacosa Brunello. This was much more well rounded with a longer finish. More favored of the two wines hands down — 10 years ago

Peach fuzz, pineapple, and sea spray. Zippy acid with excellent mid palate weight. Orchard fruits with a pleasantly soapy minerality to finish. Good stuff! Thanks @Ryan Maxwell — 4 years ago

Translucent cherry red. A spectacular nose. Black cherry, dried herbs and leather with a whiff of tobacco. Beautiful balance on the palate. Savory and bright. Quite lifted with a great, light intensity. Amazing. — 6 years ago

Nice looking bottle, TS fill. Brought to Grasings in Carmel, opened/decanted 4 hrs before. Reddish tawny, doesn’t look it’s age. Wow nose. Exotic, attention grabbing. Notes of tea, rose petals, black fruit, some licorice and a little menthol. Ethereal in the mouth. Needed 5+ hrs to show its stuff. Had the staff standing in line for some shared pours. Great showing. At peak but bottles like this one are going to deliver pleasure for another 10 years easily. — 6 years ago

Beautiful drinking Giacosa that was floral & elegant showing red cherry, leather, sweet tobacco, licorice spice & rose petal. Fully mature that should drink well for many years — 7 years ago

Pleasantly surprised, but it definitely needed the right food. It was great with a gnocchi in Parmesan and Gorgonzola sauce. The bright acid cut through the rich cream sauce. Some roasted lamb brought out the herbaceous notes, and once again the lighter body and acid helped to balance the rich dish. It was strange that it paired horribly with a carbonara dish- something about the prosciutto made it musty tasting. I think the key to the enjoyment of this wine is the food pairing, so pair wisely! — 8 years ago

Give it plenty of time in the glass or ideally in a decanter. It is a beautiful wine that needs time to open. Great effort in an off year. — 3 years ago

BG barbaresco leads the pack. Round, rich, earthy, and full bodied. Great balance for the grape. Black cherry, cedar, and dried fruit. While not a top vintage, a benchmark that’s in its drinking window. St. Stephen will remain... — 7 years ago
