Fun guy. Still some life left. Not nearly as complex as the older Barolos obviously but at a fraction of price. Cork was safe 🤙🏻 — 8 years ago
Mossy, still showing some rich red fruit / lots of earth, not much structure / still a deep, thoughtful wine — 8 years ago
Fabulous light sophisticated finessed £40 Barbaresco that's not complex but in its simplicity is wonderful 👍 drinking fabulously now 😎

🙈 tasting 3rd wine
at wset level 2 course (6th meeting)
the class subject was 🇮🇹
four reds were poured
my guess was that it'll probably be nebbiolo, barbera, sangiovese and amarone. i came close.
besides the one with appassimento treatment guessing what is each one is far behind my tastebuds (for now 😊)
pale ruby red 👀
🍓, vanilla, 🥥, earth, tobacco and some wood 👃
high acidity.
low tannins.

medium 🎯
very pleasent for me. — 6 years ago
Off peak. No nose. Dark fruit, little tannins. Muddy, some sediment. Lived 1 hour as much after it was opened. — 7 years ago
Lusciously fruity and earthy at the same time. On the nose there are notes of black cherry and wet leaves/forest floor. Still more fresh black fruit on the palate, a little bit of vanilla incense and violets. Quite decent acidity with silky tannins and med + alcohol which is balanced nicely. Paired well for me with baked Provoleta cheese! — 8 years ago
Toffee. Fruit is severely weakened. — 8 years ago
Consider this a collective note on the '67 Barolo vintage...having tasted through about fifteen, most were fading or already past it. Burlotto, Prunotto, and Vietti were all wonderful and G. Rinaldi could legitimately go another decade, but in general, drink 'em if ya got 'em! — 9 years ago
Cork intact, decanted with some fine sediment for one hour. Looking like the color of tea and as clear as that too. Lots of umami and similar aromas of aged Madeira — 6 years ago
Herbal, raisins, dried fruits, very nice — 7 years ago
