9.1

No cru bottling in 2018, so this entry gets all the premium juice.
Beautiful nose of strawberry, sour cherry, raspberry, licorice, steeped tea, and rose petals. Lean medium body yet juicy. Tannins are still quite tight.
Good showing from a so-so vintage.

Peaked. Rich cherry and very earthy. Still punchy but glad I drank this now. Always wonderful wine. — 2 days ago

A bit young. Bright, light red in color, crushed raspberry, cherries, dried flowers, dirt, maybe a mint/menthol note on the nose. Sharp on the palate. Traditional, and great. Bottle from Doug. — 4 days ago

Sorì San Lorenzo Langhe Nebbiolo 1997

Lots of heft and complexity. The fruit is still packing a nice punch but it’s deeper and more mature. Tobacco. Red fruits. Strong tannins. Great color. — 4 days ago

Lecinquevigne Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

Parking Lot - Trader Joe’s 30$ Barolo. 14.5%. Tasted on the spot! With the mini snack cups from T.G. Brownish tinge, tealeaves and quite tart. Lacks classic Barolo flavors - will pass up on this one. Sad 😞 - Great vintage how can anyone screw this up? Might this needs hours of air and or a proper glass? Will add to these notes - in 3 hours. May be i am wrong? — 10 days ago

Great idea but should have paired with samples of Trader Giotto’s meatballs or gnocchi

Bummer. Will hafta See if I can score a bottle from the local TJ's to see if notes are consistent. This version usually pretty workmanlike and in the 9.1-9.2 zone.

Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

2021 vintage. Last tasted 7.17.24 (9.2). This "junior" Barolo continuing to bring the goods. Medium-heavy body. Likely best in another 7-10 years but showing nicely now. The nice price and a worthy choice while waiting for those big gun Barolos to come out of hibernation. 12.11.24. — 13 days ago
