Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Fruit sourced from three young, cool vineyards, Arborina and Gattera in La Morra and Castelletto in Monforte d'Alba, Ruby red with a bouquet of dark fruit, spices, leather and licorice. On the palate flavors of sour black cherry and plum with notes of pepper, smoky tobacco, vanilla and oak. Long finish, nice balance with fine drying tannins, savory edges, ending with earthy mineral notes. Good now! — 18 days ago

Opened at 1 PM, started pouring into quite inappropriate glassware at 7PM.
Big shouldered, round, lots of carob hinting at dry cocoa, dark fruits. Tannins well integrated, many of the ‘16’s seem to be. Mouth filling. With protein very very nice. Brisket & lamb. Brown, blue and ochre on the nose and palate. A good number of years left I think.
No hint of over toast or barrel.
Very nice, especially with a varied long meal. long finish. — 5 months ago

Always fun to support Chef Aaron Brooks with a little Barolo, whenever he “pops up”. Great food from our favorite Aussie. — 7 months ago

Had the 2022 in July of 2024. Really tasty little white. Lightly sweet with floral and citrus notes. Honeysuckle and hints of green apple. Was really tasty and hope to get this one again. — 2 months ago

If one person in the relationship likes salinity and minerality and reads The New Yorker. And the other likes perfumey but still dry whites and reads The Economist. Well this is your wine. Cloudy/unfined. Unripe peach, honeysuckle, and salt. — 6 months ago

It’s not all about the big names or so called high end wines. It’s about how a wine tast in the glass, this wine does taste very well after 19 years in the bottle. It’s nice and soft with some ripe red fruits. Just a lovely bottle of Barolo 😋 — 8 months ago
