Tight when opened; needed an hour or so. This is going to be a cellar selection. Gobble these up — 4 days ago

I've had a few vintages of this and it never disappoints. It's a great mix of lively fruit and some rustic qualities. Pairs with just about anything. I'm going to have it with spaghetti squash and grilled chicken and mushrooms.

Earthy, dried rose petal, showing some dark brick color. Cork fully intact upon removal with Durand . Medium ++ body. Chewy grippy tannins. Immediate thought was this could go another 20 years! Little more fruit showing after 30 minutes open. Enjoying with a lamb shoulder roast and heirloom pumpkin hash. Happy Heavenly Birthday Karly! Hold ‘em if you got ‘em. Have a ‘15 and ‘18. I’ll be waiting much longer to open them. — a month ago

Celebrating my 4000th TN on Delectable!!

I opened this bottle of the 1982 about four hours prior to dinner. It was a little tight and old smelling so I poured it into a wide-bottomed ship’s decanter where I left it until I needed to head to the restaurant. I then poured it back into the bottle. By the time I poured the first glass, the wine had freshened up and it was positively singing! It’s a beautiful garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and definitely quite a bit of sediment to watch out for. On the nose, after all of the air, the wine is vinous with gorgeous notes of ripe and dried, red fruits: Morello cherry, raspberry, dried roses, tar, truffle, cedar chest, leather, dried herbs and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is such a lovely bottle of Pio Cesare Barolo annata and perhaps proving once again that the 1982 vintage was very special throughout Europe. Drink now through 2042+. — 19 days ago

Light rubi robe, nose of crushed roses, dried herbs, violettes, and cedarwood. Very light on its feet and very elegant. Make no mistake, it’s a serious Barolo. Complex and elegant, top notch. — a month ago

2024. Since we had enjoyed the 2025 Nebbiolo, and this was within reach in the kitchen we popped it open too. This may be a little less concentrated and a little rougher around edges, but still tasty. — 2 months ago

This was still fresh at 26 yrs that was drinking well with its perfumed nose. — a month ago

very plush and open. Broad plush plummy fruit. Underbrush and a developed inky mineral. Soft around the edges with dried cherry and touches of leather and licorice. Gorgeous and long — 18 days ago

this is very light… Almost rosé colored with a hint of Amber. On the nose, classic Nebiolo, lifted, pure and bright. This is fully mature and pretty light bodied… A touch shrill on the finish. Cherry, dried flowers, and a hint of a tang. Decent, but it’s probably saying better days. — a month ago

This is consistently one of the best things you can get for $38. Gave it plenty of air, and it opened up beautifully. Chewy cherries, leather, and crushed rock. I guess that's how I'd describe lots of Barolos, but this is a fine specimen. Thanks for reminding me @Tom Casagrande

A quick half bottle before our dinner reservation and a great choice it was!
Young, fresh, fruity (same applies to Marta! 😉)
Tasting notes: red currant, raspberry, cinnamon and a little smoky.
Very drinkable! — 2 months ago
