Tar And Roses

Vietti

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Oh my heavens. I could wax poetic about Vietti all day. Violets and crushed purple roses jump out of the glass, followed by tart bramble fruits, high acid, and gripping tannins. Nebbiolos smell like the Deep South in summer: wisteria and hot asphalt. — 11 years ago

Just got home from a walk and the wine is now black cherry aromas and cherry and olive flavors with acidity and roses on the end.

Cappellano

Otin Fiorin Piè Rupestris-Nebioli Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

2009 vintage. Pie Rupestris. Medium plus concentration of roses, violets, tar and grassy notes. On the palate, medium plus acidity and alcohol. Full concentration of cherry, tar and roses. Very moreish. Great length although lacks some finesse. Very good. Drink now until 2025. — 10 years ago

Decanted for 2 hours and it starts to open up. Tar, wood, floral, some sort of sweet aroma undertone, fruity on the palate. still tastes vibrant and young! — 13 years ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2013

Crazy good for this price range and will get better with age. Still a bit tight at first so needs at least an hour in the decanter. Tobacco, tar, rose petals, cherries and grippy tannins. — 11 years ago
