Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Fruity nose with red fruits, flowers, metals, light earth and herbs.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh picked cherries, vegetables, light wood, spices, coffee and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty, yet young, Barolo from the famous Cannubi plot in Barolo. Light and airy. Elegant, and feels very big.

Not very approachable yet, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Showing great potential to age nicely in the 10 years, and beyond.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months. A limited Production.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Lovely easy drinking Nebbiolo. The 2021 is perfectly aged, little tannin, medium bodied, and pairs well with heavier dishes. Very lovely — 5 months ago

Langhe Freisa 2020

First time with Freisa. At 14.5 ABV it was a bit darker and heavier than I was expecting, based on what I've read about this grape. It was still a really good bottle, though, with flavors of red and black fruit, and some clove too. Would like to try this grape again from a different producer. 100% Freisa. 6/5/23. — 3 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2022

The nose is textbook nebbiolo with cherry, sour cherry, tar, almond, hay, tobacco leaves, black tea and roasted pork shoulder juice 😀. The palate is rather big and bold with a strong acid drive, a dry palate through and through, some impressive width, cherry, tea and that savoury note reminiscent of the pork shoulder juice note I found on the nose. The mouthfeel is first soft and nice, with almost a sweeter touch, before a great tannic walls comes and disrupts the entire feel and triggers a rather long finish with tea, cherry, tobacco touches and again that savoury pork note. It's a lovely, not so complex nebbiolo but really well made and offering pleasure by itself or alongside dinner (we had it along chicken gizzard stew and it worked super well). — 4 months ago

Based on a sample of only this wine I would tend to agree, Jay. I will try to locate other examples now 😁

Castellero Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Ruby in color with a brick rim.

Beautiful nose with red and black fruits, roses, nuts, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, blueberries, plums, earth, light wood and coffee.

Long finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Barolo from Piedmont. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.

This Single Vineyard is still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself as a sipping wine. Elegant and robust at the same time.

Very approachable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Will also pair very nicely with food.

Hamilton Russell Vineyards

Hemel-en-Aarde Valley Chardonnay 2018

9.7

Double blind wine tasting. 3 Whites and 3 Reds:

1. ‘18 Hamilton Russell Chard - WOTN across both whites and reds - complex, refined, fruit integrated with honey, oak, butter, cream, camomile.

2. ‘20 Hartenberg The Eleanor Chard - big wine that could use a few years. Nice fruit and lovely acidity. Mix between a White Burg and Rhone Blend.

3. ‘22 Far Niente Chard - potential, very young, not the best QPR. Reminded me of young Paul Hobbs single vineyard Chards.


1. ‘12 Giacomo Fenocchio 90 di Riserva Barolo - aged showed through nicely, but still lively with dark cherries and ample tannins.

2. ‘20 Vilafonte - decanted, but young and an absolutely massive wine. Black fruit, chewy, with decent sweetness.

3. ‘02 Origin Red Blend - nose of black tar and cigars. Zero fruit and big tar, tobacco, and bbq flavors. Bigger wine than I was expecting.

Great night with great friends!

Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

Medium light ruby wide watery garnet rim . Ripe strawberry, cherry fruit , touch floral , dried herbs , touch of dried spices, but elegant and quite reserved . On the palate slightly darker sweet fruit , liquorice undertones , good balance with a mineral saline tinge on the decent length finish . Ripe fine tannins and balanced acidity , surprising freshness , balanced alcohol . Elegant and understated , quite light in style , really enjoyable now. Won’t be a long lived wine I suspect , so enjoy now and over the next 5-8 years . — 2 years ago
