Gavarini Chiniera Barolo Nebbiolo

Floral, enough fruit left, mostly dark berries, old book, dried leaves, forest floor, and nicely mellowed tannins. 2009 in 2025. — 2 months ago

Rüncot Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

Savoury yet ripe cherry notes. Great depth of flavour coming out after 18 years. A medium bodied palate with medium plus intensity. A trace of that elusive iron amongst the earthy notes. A brilliant wine - thoroughly enjoyed it. A pity that we have to wait 15 to 20 years for Barolos like this to be at their peak, but it is worth the wait. Runcot is only bottled in the best years. This is one of the 1001 Wines and one of the best reds I’ve had this year. — 6 months ago

Congratulations Bob, that is stunning Barolo.
That producer, from that vintage and at that age. Truly representing the beauty of Nebbiolo.
The stars and planets have aligned for you.

On the nose, lots of strawberry, tart cherry, roses, violets; hint of turned earth; on the palate, lots of primary fruit character. A range of tart cherry, dried strawberry, slight porcini; tannins are fine and dusty. Finish is decently long. — 16 days ago

Bric del Baio Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

The lovely colour of this Nebbiolo, which is ever so slightly pink, adds a great sense of occasion. The nose suggests jam and something like currant. The bouquet includes the flavour of a sweet red apple. The finish is long, with pepper and plum. — 6 months ago
