More full-bodied than the Apothic Inferno and the bourbon barrel influence is not only evident after you take a sip, you can also see it on the inside of the glass! 👍🏻 This wine is my favorite so far in this “bourbon barrel-aged reds”. It’s fabulous! — 7 years ago

This takes some time to open up. Once it does, this light-colored gives up delicate scents of cracked stones, mossy forest underbrush, and wild cherry. Lean but flavorful, with lithe flavors of crisp cherry and rock dust. Loads of acids and a bit of fine-grained tannin on the structural side. Will go nicely with the risotto I just finished and is quietly resting for a few minutes! — 7 years ago

‘Inferno’ he only made in a few vintages. A stinky dark nose with tar and roses. Lovely depth and gnarly fruit but great acidity- blind there was an almost Brunel love-like intensity to the fruit. Both intense and pretty. Really classy and very vital. Great — 8 years ago

Crimson in color with the slightest bit of orange. Opened up over 3-4 hours, still has room to cellar. Rustic nose: herbal notes, bloodorange, cherry, but not overly aerobatic. On the palate, is more viscous than expected, with red fruit. Tannins are there, but acidity is just as prevalent. Much better when pair with pasta. (My first Nebbiolo from this region, tasted while in Varenna). — 9 years ago

2009 vintage. Dark dusty nose. Hearty strong. Tannins grip. Intense red black fruit. Dryness overwhelms but in a good way. $35.99 — 12 years ago

Blend of 3 Crus, but mainly Inferno. This is a late harvest (picked only early Dec) aged for 12m in new barriques and then cement.
The nose is full of cranberry (crespino!) and some kirsch but also quite pronounced leathery, earthy, mushroomy notes and a whiff or rosemary. Opens up with time.
On the palate with mid weight and nice balance. Quite tannic but the wood is integrating nicely. A fine wine that will gain in the next 5yrs. — 7 years ago

The menu listed Inferno but Red Barn was all they had. A good saison - nice crispness with a hint of ginger and white flowers - but WAY too cold. Will probably improve as it warms up...but I'm thirsty. — 9 years ago

Blend of 20% Riservas from Sasella, Grumello, Inferno and Valgela with 20% Sfursat.
Amazingly complex nose full of cherries, lilies, spices, leather, herbs, a whiff of mint. Very youthful and without any evolved aromas. Midweight on the palate with impeccable balance, juicy acidity, a still firm, dusty tannic grip and a finish that goes on and on. Wow! What a wine. — 7 years ago

50 + year old vines....Mmmmm spicy smoked oak campfire bacon goodness. I tired this last night and already bought more. Great wine to go with red meat or BBQ, very drinkable wine. If you like smoked flavors, look no more. Reminds me of apothic inferno. — 9 years ago

Light to medium bodied. Rich and complex -- very earthy wine plus some raspberry and cherry and some almost tar/smoke. And roses. Also the smell of good quality, cloudy honey. Very interesting. Tannins are soft after 11 years, but still there. Medium finish. — 10 years ago

Shared this at a wedding , so while I may have been predisposed to enjoy it, I also know, that even in the relentless flames of the inferno, this wine would be deeply delicious ;-) — 11 years ago
