2024. Another sentimental pickup at the store tonight. My wife and I used to get the 375 mL bottles of Nivole at a local liquor/wine store in Lincoln in the early 1990’s and that store just announced they were closing after 63 years. 😢 — 10 days ago

11 year old Barolo that aged beautifully. Still strong hints of cherries, rose, leather, and acorns. Tannins mellowed. Lasting finish. — a month ago

Popped and poured into red Solo cups. The 1997 “Radici” Riserva pours a garnet color with a near opaque core and a slightly orange rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe, tart, and some desiccated fruit: Montmorency cherry, plum, licorice, smoked meat, balsamico, a mix of organic and inorganic earth, exotics spices and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tanning and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and earthy. This was quite the departure from the Napa wines surrounding it but made a statement. Drink now through 2037. — 10 months ago

Lost a bit of its legs. Had to breath for 2hrs and decant. If you have it on your cellar drink it soon. — a month ago

Even better 4 1/2 years after the first time I tried it. This wine/vintage over-performs. Comparable to some of the higher end riservas. — a year ago

Surprising and unique. Much more earthy than other Taurasis I’ve tried. I think I like it. But also not sure. Need to try again. About $60. — 2 months ago

Pale lemon-green color with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with floral notes. On the palate flavors of pineapple, citrus and honeysuckle with floral and nutty notes. Medium finish, lively acidity ending with a mineral tang. Nice value!! — 4 years ago
