Ginestra 'Vigna Casa Maté' Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Sourced from 65 year old vines, sitting in rich clay soils. Medium Ruby with complex aromas of berry fruits, oak and fresh floral scents. On the palate dried tart cherry, tobacco, licorice, espresso and fresh herbs give this full-body wine grace and elegance. Soft fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy notes, well balanced, enjoyable now and has room to run over the next decade. Very Nice! — 6 months ago

Gavarini Chiniera Barolo Nebbiolo

Floral, enough fruit left, mostly dark berries, old book, dried leaves, forest floor, and nicely mellowed tannins. 2009 in 2025. — 3 days ago

Ca' del Baio (Giulio Grasso)

Bric del Baio Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

The lovely colour of this Nebbiolo, which is ever so slightly pink, adds a great sense of occasion. The nose suggests jam and something like currant. The bouquet includes the flavour of a sweet red apple. The finish is long, with pepper and plum. — 4 months ago

La Cerbaiola di Salvioni Giulio

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese

This is a highly regarded wine and it has all the bones of a great wine - but it just didn’t fit my profile. I prefer a balance of earth and fruit in old world wines and probably lean towards the earth. This was too fruit forward for me. — 2 months ago

Rüncot Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

Savoury yet ripe cherry notes. Great depth of flavour coming out after 18 years. A medium bodied palate with medium plus intensity. A trace of that elusive iron amongst the earthy notes. A brilliant wine - thoroughly enjoyed it. A pity that we have to wait 15 to 20 years for Barolos like this to be at their peak, but it is worth the wait. Runcot is only bottled in the best years. This is one of the 1001 Wines and one of the best reds I’ve had this year. — 4 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Really enjoyed this with pot roast. Seems to be at the right age. Still young fruit, and tannins are integrated if yet still strong. — 7 months ago
