@delectable Rio Sordo Barbaresco

Nose is beautiful. Softened cherry fruit.

Palate is still fresh. Cherries. Some spice. Still tannic.

Bought from fass selections — 4 years ago

Rust showing on the rim... Crunchy red berry with hints of VA. Evergreen pine scent and a sultry black cherry round. Chi tea spice and ginger round out the nose. Fresh palate with juicy cherry transitions into mocha flavors. Finishes dry and with a delicious factor. With air this becomes more oxidative. Drink now. — 7 years ago

At first I wasn't sure about this but after letting it air out a bit it's pretty good. Has scents of raspberry and cherry. Medium body. Very fruity taste. Paired it with stuffed chicken Marsala. I'm still trying to figure out a Barolo wine. This is my second but much better than the first! — 8 years ago

Expressive nose of dry cherries, goji, coffee beans and chocolate. Elegance, with many tannins, yet on the sweet side. Good length, good call. — 3 years ago

Drinking beautifully. Just what one should expect from a 2013 Barolo from Perno. Color, balance, fruit to tannan, freshness, sipping and strength to food. — 4 years ago

Since @Keith Crump opened a Rio Sordo I took out a Rabaja (thanks Keith for inspiring me 😁). It just kept me coming back for more. I adore those type of wines that suddenly make me forget about being "concious" what I'm drinking and make me realise it's just good! — 7 years ago

Really nice. Should definitely decant for at least an hour, could easily use more. Great earth, solid acid that keeps it refreshing, and still surprisingly persistent tannins. Overall very nice. Had at Babbo. — 9 years ago

Village Barbaresco (100% Nebbiolo) from various vineyards - including fruit from the prestigious Ovello, Montestefano and Rio Sordo crus. Perfumed and ethereal, quite fruit-forward on the nose with aromas of cherry, rose petal, pine needles and earthy notes and a whiff of tar. Juicy, slightly rustic on the palate with flavors of crunchy red fruit (cherry, cranberry), licorice. Quite dry, slightly harsh tannins (drinking this very young). High acidity. Pairs great with mushrooms — 4 years ago

The orangish edges made me doubtful, but this is great. Very lively- strawberry nose. Red fruits, licorice, pepper. Strong acidity and tannins make me think I should buy more and sit on it for a few years. — 6 years ago

Half the price of the Conterno at Costco ($36) and a good value. Missing the nicer reductive notes, this Barolo has the distinctive sour cherry, softer tannins, and a touch of raisiny richness. Very good. — 7 years ago

From the great 2001 vintage. This vineyard is on the flatter country by the river where the soils are sandy. Slightly stinky nose - Fleshy palate. Great length. The full Nebbiolo package. A privilege. This was a fitting final wine in the Italian wine and Food Tour organised by Peter Scudamore-Smith MW and his wife Denise. Peter's contacts with the wineries and his depth of knowledge is exemplary. Together with the restaurants (a WOW List) and accommodation Peter and Denise provided an experience which exceeded expectations. We will be taking their Sicily trip in the next few years. Highly recommended to all Wine and Food lovers. Also this 2001 Rio Sordo was from the Produttori del Barbaresco. — 10 years ago
