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. — 5 months ago

Congratulations Bob, that is stunning Barolo.
That producer, from that vintage and at that age. Truly representing the beauty of Nebbiolo.
The stars and planets have aligned for you.

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! — 7 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. — a month 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. — 5 months ago

Riserva Piccola Emma Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2017

2017 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Slightly too smooth with this blend of three vinyards. Medium body. Some grip but slightly less than you'd expect. Pretty. Harmonious. Together and with it. No rush to crush. 03.19.25. — 7 months ago

Such an underrated DOC. To my taste, many exhibit a lower-toned earthy quality than the surrounding DOCs.

Chianti Sangiovese Blend 2021

The historic low ratings are interesting. Would be a great wine to try a vertical tasting because currently they are using some French (I'm fairly sure sure it's French) oak that really gives it some pleasant aromas and a fine granular structure.
Certainly not a Classico - this is the new face/taste of Sangiovese from Chianti.
