Cannubi Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Light ruby color with a noticeable brick rim. Aromas and flavors of dried cherries and strawberries, dried rose petals, asphalt, strong coffee orange zest, vanilla and leather. Very spicy and earthy on the medium-plus finish. Tannins have mellowed to a velvety softness. Relatively light bodied. May have just passed its peak. Clearly shows how aging can affect a wine. — 4 days ago

Superiore Barbera d'Alba 2022

2022 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Excellent punch, richness and drinkability. Medium-medium heavy body with a sustained fruity finish. $29 resto cost a bottle. Woulda picked up the last two cases available but recently committed to a few cases of another Barbera d'Alba that showed just as well. If I come across this on a resto list, I'll hit it. 02.07.25. — 2 months ago

Pianezzo Dolcetto di Dogliani 2022

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. — 5 months ago

Via Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. The "safe spot" in the current lineup. Verry approachable vintage for Barolo and this effort comes the closest to upholding usual expectations. Medium body. Some earth/dirt. Fruit apparent but not nearly the oodles cascading over the infinity juice pool as from this producer's 2020 Cannubi or Mosconi efforts. Structure solidly in place. Delicious. $80 resto cost. 02.07.25. — 2 months ago

Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo 2014

This is a classic style Barolo from PW…excellent but still pretty tannic, could use some more time (and it’s a mag so maybe more opening) — 2 months ago

Mosconi Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Last tasted 10.02.24 (9.1). This definitely picked up steam. Medium-heavy body. Occupying an interesting space in bringing some structure but more fruit/voluptuousness than expected from the region. Rated same vintage, same producer Cannubi effort a 9.5 but that was even more over the top. This has slightly more restraint and, priced at $90 a bottle resto cost, is better value. Wouldn't expect to age this vintage the usual 20-30 years for Barolo as it's currently a PNP. Would pick up three bottles...one for now. One to drink in 2035 and another to crack in 2050 for giggles. 02.07.25. — 2 months ago
