Acidità leggermente alta — 2 months ago
Wow - first wine by Giacomo conterno and I see why this producer is hailed as one of the legends of Piedmonte. This required a few hours of air in decanter and was singing - the nose was utterly amazing with layered florals. Full body and a seemless experience on the palate - this has the structure to continue evolving for a few more years in bottle but I see no reason to wait! — 3 months ago
Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.
Beautiful nose with blue and red fruits, caramel, light oak, cooked cherries, red currants and tobacco leaf.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, earth, chocolates, tobacco, espresso and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 10 year old Barolo is still fresh and vibrant. Delicious and easy drinking with a great mouthfeel. Complex and well balanced. Tangy and interesting.
Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years and beyond.
Gorgeous, elegant and robust. A great sipping wine to share with friends and talk about.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 6 years.

One of the best wines and Cabernets in the tasting. Made by Sam Kaplan. 95-97 with 10 years of proper cellaring.
It is blended from the following sites; Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard, Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard, Weitz Vineyard, and Oakville Ranch Vineyard. Not inexpensive $300.
The name, Memento Mori, is taken from an ancient Latin philosophy that reminds us of our mortality and the inevitability of death. So, forgo patience, I guess?

Opened too young; lovely and exceptionally made wine. Brickish red/brown. I let decant for a loooong time. Lots of cranberry and red fruit, some herbs, clay, faint cedar and tobacco. The acidity was med-high, but the tannins really softened out with aeration. I'd say this is still developing flavors and will be 95+ in a decade. — 2 months ago
Silky tannins, full-bodied, earthy. Fabulous bouquet. Dark cherries, blackberries, cedar, sweet tobacco, and spice. Smooth satisfying finish. — 4 months ago

Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Fruity nose with red fruits, flowers, metals, light earth and herbs.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh picked cherries, vegetables, light wood, spices, coffee and peppercorn.
Spicy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty, yet young, Barolo from the famous Cannubi plot in Barolo. Light and airy. Elegant, and feels very big.
Not very approachable yet, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Showing great potential to age nicely in the 10 years, and beyond.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months. A limited Production.
