Opened about two hours prior to service and allowed to Audouze. The 1996 La Gramolere Riserva pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with classic notes of Morello cherry, raspberry, truffle, dried roses, tar, leather, dried herbs and dusty earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose the finish is long; powerful and beautiful. Still fresh, this is a fabulously delicious Riserva by an underrated producer. Drink now with a little patience and through 2046. — 2 months ago

I’ve been enjoying opening young inexpensive Nebbiolo the last week. It’s a fun contrast to the aged Nebbiolo I have that seems to be in a slump. Tannic but also cherry and energy. After a few days it tastes aged, with tobacco and spice predominating, but alas the tannin did not recede. — 6 years ago

Drank after manzone 2005 gramulre riserva. Same vintage(2005) cherry coke on nose. Cherry integrated tannins. Good length. Not as complex and less body than manzone but good barolo. — 7 years ago

I fear I opened this far too soon. A couple hours of decanting has helped it open up. Going to let my other bottle hang out on the rack for a few more years. — 10 months ago

Expression of Elegance. 2914 was tough and he reduced quality for better maturation. Kept smaller grapes with less leaves. Paolo said this is the most elegant wine he ever made. 😍 — 8 years ago

I’ve never had Rossese Bianco and as a fan of Rossese (red), it’s exciting to try this (from Piemonte, surprisingly). Nose is quite herbal with a little note of raw almond. Slight note of stone fruit pits. Crisp and cleansing and refreshing in the mouth (as are many of its red siblings). Nice intensity and balance. This would be a very nice summer antipasto accompaniment. Thanks to my brother Angelo for spying and snagging this for me! — 8 months ago

Tannic but not too much, fruit but not overly ripe, distinct dried flower notes. Ah, tradition. Really good old school barolo. — 3 years ago

A bit rough when just opened, but after about an hour of breathing, it opens up beautifully. — 8 years ago
