Barolo Riserva Speciale Nebbiolo 1967

One hour in the decanter. Lots of sediment. Cork removed by a Durand and still in good condition. Umami and tar while it gained volume and mouthfeel in the glass over the next hour. Savory and delicious. 🤤 — 11 days ago

Gorgeous and spicy. Pure fruit- deep plum and roses and a hint of leather and marmalade. Very pretty and poised. Gorgeous — 3 months ago

What a wine, so fresh, juicy, harmonious and elegant. This will evolve nicely and gain even more complexity. 97++ — 16 days ago

Pora Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2020

Had this for our anniversary! New fave. Can’t believe I ever thought I didn’t like Italian wine. Full body, tells a story. Slightly tannic. Blackberry, clay pot. Really really good value for a low splurge. — a month ago

Not modern. This is about as traditional as they come. Long macerations and aged in Slavonian botti grandi.

That is how it is made but not how it tastes. Very light modern barollo not one that needs 10 to 15 years to be appreciated.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. The “light” aspect you describe is the style of G. Mascarello and they need forever to flesh out. In a year like 2019, they will need forever, forever. Again, nothing modern about it. Not the winemaking. Not the style.

Monprivato Cà d'Morissio Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1999

1999: Yeah. Outstanding 25-year old Barolo still an explosion of Nebbiolo flavor. Brick color but plenty of depth, with strawberry fruit well-balanced by typical leather and tar. A treat now, and wouldn’t wait any longer. — 5 months ago
