Finally starting to strut its stuff after a sullen, dumbed down adolescence. Ripe but not fleshy as befits vintage. Tertiary notes swelling up. Definitely rebuy. — 13 years ago

Right on. I'm now wishing that all the Aussie Shiraz I bought 6/7 years ago had been Barolo. I pour mostly Brunello and Rosso at my restaurant but after having a glass of 2008 Cigliutti Serraboella with duck confit tortellini the other day I'm obsessed with Piedmont again.

I never got drug too deep into the Ozzie stuff (although, I'd love to get more Basket Press, Tyrell's Semillon, and a few vintages of Wynn's cab). Piedmont, Lombardy, Trentino, Alto-Adige, and Friuli produce some of the world's most exciting wines at bros @BobbyStuckeyMS @Leviopenswine and @DoBianchi can attest. Just gotta keep on tasting! Wine is the best! Salut!

Vigna Scot Dolcetto d'Alba 2012

Smooth, drinkable - would pair well with anything. Had with a wonderful Italian meal.

Ruby wine club notes: The Cavallotto family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district (also home to Azelia), where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929 and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis and Vignolo crus and traditional long maturation periods in large Slovenian-oak casks. After meeting and tasting with Winemaker and owner Alfio Cavallotto, I was incredibly impressed with his wines and thought his Dolcetto was one of the best I had tasted all year. This wine offers the crunchy red fruits for which Dolcetto is known for, with an element of licorice, and sandalwood. This Impressive effort will pair with just about anything, but it is highly fashionable with pasta and grilled meats. — 12 years ago
