Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, cranberry and spices (clove). Smooth, cherry flavors with a hint of licorice. Solid Nebbiolo.

Village Barbaresco (100% Nebbiolo) from various vineyards - including fruit from the prestigious Ovello, Montestefano and Rio Sordo crus. Perfumed and ethereal, quite fruit-forward on the nose with aromas of cherry, rose petal, pine needles and earthy notes and a whiff of tar. Juicy, slightly rustic on the palate with flavors of crunchy red fruit (cherry, cranberry), licorice. Quite dry, slightly harsh tannins (drinking this very young). High acidity. Pairs great with mushrooms — 4 years ago

@delectable Rio Sordo Barbaresco

Nose is beautiful. Softened cherry fruit.

Palate is still fresh. Cherries. Some spice. Still tannic.

Classic cucumbers, lychee, pear, cold smoke, lime pith, light guava core. On the palate, soft on entry, but dragging a desert dry backbone over diatomaceous sands on a steely chain, til orange-lime citrus twists to lemon that jumps from the glass with a nano dusting of white pepper. — 6 years ago

Since @Keith Crump opened a Rio Sordo I took out a Rabaja (thanks Keith for inspiring me 😁). It just kept me coming back for more. I adore those type of wines that suddenly make me forget about being "concious" what I'm drinking and make me realise it's just good! — 7 years ago

Gooseberry, clove and grapefruit nose with lemon peel and nano peach slivers. Pear and pineapple afterthoughts. Pithy entry of undulating weight, lemon lime and grapefruit, a chalkiness ensues, briny and a touch of angelica.

Glinty golden. Sage and olive blossom, lemon bread, orange nano-lade, yellow biquinho, baked apple, white plum, cactus flower. Big caper in a big round mouthfeel with fennel, baked lemon, baked gooseberry, baked table grape, lime peel and pith, soft grapefruit and tarragon. Really a smooth and round wine with a sensuous nature finishing with grapefruit and lemon piths.

I had the Asili but delectable is not recognizing it. One of the best Barbarerscos is my life — 5 years ago

Tangerine honey, grapefruit sugar, with peonies, the most perfect, spun cotton candy, chamomile, pear and apple and almond and hazelnut, chutney, and toast with a nano marmalade containing frozen peaches. The exquisite peach blossom honey, chamomile, sultanas, elderberry, gooseberry, quince, dried starfruit and lime. Incredibly layered in folds of dried and concentrated richness. #riesling #deutschewein #wein #beerenauslese #dessertwine #botrytis — 5 years ago

The orangish edges made me doubtful, but this is great. Very lively- strawberry nose. Red fruits, licorice, pepper. Strong acidity and tannins make me think I should buy more and sit on it for a few years. — 6 years ago

At first I wasn't sure about this but after letting it air out a bit it's pretty good. Has scents of raspberry and cherry. Medium body. Very fruity taste. Paired it with stuffed chicken Marsala. I'm still trying to figure out a Barolo wine. This is my second but much better than the first! — 8 years ago

Expressive nose of dry cherries, goji, coffee beans and chocolate. Elegance, with many tannins, yet on the sweet side. Good length, good call. — 3 years ago

9.3

Nano hazelnut chocolate on coffee rye, blackened sponge cake, well done steak, black sesame, lavender and baked blackberry. Well knit.
Graphite glimmers on dark chocolate and cedar-oak slivers, smoky tobacco leaf, and tea. Immersive.

Drinking beautifully. Just what one should expect from a 2013 Barolo from Perno. Color, balance, fruit to tannan, freshness, sipping and strength to food. — 4 years ago

Light haze to bright gold with a tinge of tangerine. Atmospheric and fast head forms and deconstructs in a swirl to cobwebs. Mantis lacing. Yeasty-brussel sprout-y, yam-earthy, baked orange, caramelized leek, and dried grapefruit savoriness to the rustic aromatics. Supple citrus blobs of soft orange and grilled lemon and grapefruit bob in a nutritional-yeasty soup of acorn squash and malty carrot, a nano pepper, and even less cedar or cinnamon bark. We would be splitting hairs to go further, but there are gingery spices and ginseng suggestions, ghosts of allspice and serpent breath. Pranq it up!

Rust showing on the rim... Crunchy red berry with hints of VA. Evergreen pine scent and a sultry black cherry round. Chi tea spice and ginger round out the nose. Fresh palate with juicy cherry transitions into mocha flavors. Finishes dry and with a delicious factor. With air this becomes more oxidative. Drink now. — 7 years ago
