Opened just prior to service and poured into a decanter. This is the second time I have had the opportunity to enjoy the 1967 Riserva although, the previous bottle was a more recent library release from the Borgogno cellars. This was a period release and yet, the experience was similar.

The 1967 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core moving towards a slightly orange rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some slight signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but showing much more power than the ‘67 Abbazia SS Annunziata we drank on the same evening. Again, there is a lovely mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a savory. My previous notes suggested to drink now and while I still hold fast to that statement, twice in the span of 18mos with two separate bottlings encourages me to be a bit more bullish and suggest this has many years, perhaps decades left in the tank. — 3 days ago

9.1

Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.

Strong nose of red fruits with earth, light vegetables, light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, spices, peppercorn, light wood, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth and light vegetables.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5 year old Barolo from the famous Canubi Vineyard is still a little rigid right now, but already enjoyable. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years, with good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Wine Advocate 93 points.

Very tasty and a good food wine that will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were only 20% destemmed. Aged for 3 years in large Slavonian oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

A Barolo in all but name (“No Name”). A beautiful expression of Nebbiolo. — 14 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 pours, a deep, ruby/purple color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a mix of tart and ripe, mostly black with some blue fruits: black berries, plums, black licorice, Alpine herbs and purple flowers and dried earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium- tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finishes medium. Overall, this is an impressive Dogliani and I’d gladly take more of this in my life. Drink now. — 3 months ago

One of my favorite regions. Wine was gorgeous. Not overpowering in the least but I did decant for about an hour. — a month ago

Ripe but not the greatest Barolo I had.

Interesting to taste. It reminds of some PiWi varieties. Less pleasant to drink and to enjoy. — 3 months ago
