Lifted but savory. The 100% whole cluster does not dominate: nice integration elevates the fruit. — 10 years ago

Again, fruit is the star of the show. Bright raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate with subtle stony undertones. Lifted fruit with serious integration of acidity and delicate dusty tannin. More pleasure and cohesiveness than the last bottle if a little less complex. — 10 years ago

Lots of bottle variation, this was one of the good ones. Lifted, without too much VA; funky, without too much Brett. All the red fruit and hot rocks and pretty aromatics you could want. — 10 years ago

Seductive nose, ripe blackberry and a telltale white pepper finish with a nicely lifted finish. Cofermented with Viogner and very Delish. Was a wonderful companion to ribs and rain at Kirkwood. — 11 years ago

Rich vintage. After an hour started to really open. Rich palate, with ribbons of brightness. Aromatically became very lifted and a mixture of curry spices and bruised pears — 10 years ago

Marcarini

Brunate Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

2005 Marcarini "Brunate" Barolo - Pale and hazy ruby. Upon opening it smelled like a whiskey barrel. 2 hours later the aromas developed into iron/bloody/stoney mineral, leather and powdery floral notes with ripe earthy cherry. Great acidity, medium herbaceous driven tannins carefully lifted by the alcohol. Lean and dry chinato-like flavors of orange peel and red fruits. Great bitter herb finish. Decant for 3 hours and Drink now or hold for 10. — 10 years ago
