I'll leave the detailed reviews to the professionals. I've had this in the seller for a few years. Finally opened, decanted, let it sit for about an hour. Fantastic tannins on the finish. Exactly what I like. Does not disappoint.  — 14 days ago

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). — 7 months ago

I'm never disappointed with Barbera d'Asti. Fruit and bold, but not harsh. — 11 days ago

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.

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

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

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!

Medium Ruby color with complex aromas of berry fruits, oak, tobacco, spice and earthy floral scents. On the palate flavors of tart cherry, tobacco, licorice, espresso and fresh herbs. Soft fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy notes, well balanced, enjoyable now and has room to run over the next decade. Very Nice! — a month ago

9.1

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.

Lovely easy drinking Nebbiolo. The 2021 is perfectly aged, little tannin, medium bodied, and pairs well with heavier dishes. Very lovely — 8 months ago
