Not sure what others who have had this reservation are talking about. I just had the 2001 and this wine aged to perfection, cooler was light, brick, Georgia clay, yet the flavors where top notch. Lucky to have it, had their 2011 Brunelo the other day and that is nails as well. — 8 years ago

Balance from nose to finish for a young Barolo, wow. An elegant Barolo, and by elegant I'm talking graceful fruit nicely balanced by brooding characters of the fine. Black Cherry, fresh cut spring flowers, aged leather, black tea, and tobacco. More medium than heavy but notable in depth that I expect to grow exponentially with 5-15 more years. Massive QPR for the great 2010 vintage. — 9 years ago

When Jeremy Clarkson says "powaaah!" He could be talking about this Meritage. Dark fruits wrapped in powerful tannins. Would pair well with a beast of a ribeye, me thinks -- Wineshout.com — 11 years ago

Fantastic wine of the region! Similar to the Riserva of the Contucci Family of Wines, this full-bodied (yet lighter) Nobile has an aromatic nose but not overpowering. A smooth and drier finish rounds out the taste! ... when did we start talking like we were professionals at this? (Maybe that's only in my mind...) — 8 years ago

Biggest wine surprise I've ever had. Pours a tea-like color which makes you wonder if you should have chillled it. Served at 58 degrees it's fruit forward. Citrus first but confusingly exquisite and things I can't describe afterward. I'll be talking about this wine for ages, referencing it for ages, and buying it for ages.

Gamay the Burgundian way. This was once love at first sight and I keep coming back to it. There is something about the texture that is unexplainable. Light-hearted but damn serious. And then I wasn't even talking about the phenomenal perfume. Finesse all the way. From the granite and schist soils on the Py hillside. — 10 years ago

The girth and weight of this bad boy is ... Remarkable, jarring, and exceptional. I'll be talking about him for a long, long time. I mean it when I say he is one of the top two I've had in recent memory. Can't wait to get back in the sheets for a tumble with this one as soon as possible. — 9 years ago
