Slightly corked we were really disappointed at first but after about an hour and a half of decanting the wine opened up nicely. Still not "perfect" but an excellent wine nonetheless — 4 years ago

Tar, rose petals and everything Barolo should be, but don't see it getting any better with more time in the bottle — 6 years ago
The bouquet was gorgeous and intense, with black cherry, mint, tobacco, sweat spice, dried flowers, and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, I found silky textures with a kick of acidity adding bite, while crunchy tannin added grip. Tart black cherry, dried citrus, wild herbs, and intense minerality saturated the senses. It finished fresh with biting acids and tannin, but oh so good and drinking wonderfully. — 7 years ago

Great! A plum and leather with smoke (from smokehouse). But, I think, the acidity is the key. Like a final touch. — 2 years ago
Last one; still very solid to go with fabulous pizzoccheri on a cold winter night. — 5 years ago
Rich nose with notes of leather and licorice. Full bodied, rich, potent, strong tannins, long aromatic finnish. Will develop further with some years in the cellar. — 6 years ago
(Tasted at La Festa del Barolo, Del Posto NY)
In 2013 Brovia's "Rocche di Castiglione" presents itself as a pretty huge and hulking wine. But nevertheless it has this typical perfumed nose with tons of red flowers and small red berries. In the palate it showed a rather wild character for a "Rocche", with the urge to have more time to bring the massive fruit, tannins and acidity in a perfect balance. I can't wait to see this wine age. — 6 years ago
Light with a full body finish 👌🏽 — 7 years ago

A great example of the best of the Langhe region — 9 years ago
2006 vintage. Good old fashioned Barolo. Light colour and hue. Medicinal notes. Floral and red cherry. Gorgeous crunchy tannins. Long finish. This is a step up from the '89. Plenty of years ahead of this wine. Very good indeed. NB: after 2 hours this wine is singing: roses and tar to the fore, integrated tannins, crisp acidity. Bouquet is out of this world. — 9 years ago
Sommelier tasting. — 10 years ago
Nice barbaresco with a good bit of bottle age, but I fear we opened it too early and therefore it was not showing its best. Even with a 4 hour decant the nose was quite closed. Still would certainly have identified nebbiolo blind - the color, the nose, and the palate are quite traditional. Great acid holding things together at the end, and a long finish with quite integrated tannins. Nice but below expectations. Our only bottle - suggest holding a couple more years. — 3 years ago
Took a long time to open up. Big tannins but overall a superb bottle — 4 years ago
Started as a strawberry icing on yellow cake which is odd for extra brut, but this 2005 has some age on it. It turns to soft strawberry compost, pineapple pulp and shortbread cookie, becomes bright marigolds and honeysuckle pollen ,then suddenly croissant becomes primary, forgetting its sweet infancy like a whiff from a patisserie. The palate is calcareous, navel orange-lemon splash, tart, dried lime, and crystalline ginger. Chalky, and delicious. #metodoclassico #valentino #brutzero #bubbles #sparkling #Itsliansparkler — 6 years ago

Great well aged langhe nebbiolo. Certainly quite secondary at this point. Lots of bricking in the glass. Mushrooms and decaying leaves in a good way. Smooth, mouth filling, and good acid. — 7 years ago
Good fruit with a long rounded finish — 8 years ago
On the downswing but still showing some great notes — 8 years ago
Good grief! Even in its youth this was remarkably balanced with woodsy fruit for forest and a resinous fragrance. Camphorous Barolo with plenty of flex and play. — 9 years ago
Dry as dry — 10 years ago

Hint of peppermint on the nose rolls back to reveal wormwood and roses, chocolate ganache, rhubarb, and dried grapefruit peel. Velvety and complex, with peppercorn, red apple peel, cinnamon dust, dried rose petal, dried violet, and roobios tea.
