Ciabot Mentin Ginestra Barolo Nebbiolo

Absolutely in its prime. Leather, rich sandalwood, elegant as I’ve had. Near it’s peak.

Best wine with agnolotti al fumo....

Still amazingly young

Great blackberry aromas, silky tannins, great fruit and mint taste, a long finish, a really nice way to endure C-19 isolation

First time trying this winery's Barolo. Really nice. Will be even better down the road.

Youthful aromas of black cherries and tar; deep and quite classically structured, with well-integrated tannins. I would give this another four or five years of cellaring before trying again.

Dried red fruits, nice spice, licorice and floral. This was really singing!

Rich, round and full after 3 hr decant. Sexy was the word in 3 notes. Loooonnnnng finish, but has years to go. Nutty tar and leather. Such a food wine!

It was a little intense at first. It was powerful and dense on the palate. Gorgeous aromas. After 20 mins it became musky with black cherry, plum & a shade of mint. It went well with fish (that's all I eat) & with meat. I enjoyed its lovely finish with its tannins. We also brought this bottle with us. It was not on their wine list.
