Debut vintage of this and it slays. Nose is ripe as 15 can be but it is infinitely complex. Tar, roses, deep cherry fruit. Glorious spice and so nuanced. Just keeps opening. After 5 minutes it’s changed 8 times. Wow. This is a dream. As supple as the most elite Burgundy and so sweet! Wow. This is as Chambolle as it gets. Perfect balance and stunning purity and depth. Velvet and silk of the highest level. This is the best 15 Barolo I’ve ever had. It’s not close. Wow. Sweet, sensual and silky palate that has the spherical effect in spades. Nose is impossible complex. Unreal concentration and freshness. This is mindbending. Sadly only 36 bottles. Start begging!

This has the balance that only super .0001% elite wines have. This is stunning. — 4 years ago

Spicy notes on the nose. Round fruits reminiscent of Pinot noir. Tannins still a bit harsh but lots of structure to age — 7 years ago

What a beautifully sculpted, profound Percarlo. The wine has incredible purity of fruit and a wonderful perfume of cherries, essence of cherry liqueur. I've had the fortune of enjoying my fair share of outstanding bottles of this wine from different vintages, including a magnum of the 1997 with my brother at San Pietro di Positano and a bottle of the 1999 with my parents at All'olivo in Lucca. This wine brings up the best of Tuscany and it's usually a thrill to drink. — 8 years ago

Infanticide can be delicious. The early onset of winter in Seattle called for a big wine for pappardelle alla bolognese. Decanted 2+ hours and served at cellar temp. Initially a bit of a mess--wood, tannins, heat--started to come together after the first glass. Classic nebbiolo notes of dusty cherries, foliage, pepper. Big and beautiful, not quite in prime form. And yet, je ne regrette rien... 🍷💯👌🏼🍝 — 8 years ago
