Great wine. Aromas of small red berries, roses, anise, forest floor; palate with ripe, fine grained tannins, rose, tar, red berries, herbs, spice. Good concentration, med + finish. — 6 days ago

For me, the Ratti wines, especially Marcenasco, have become a lot more interesting as they have swung back towards a more traditional approach.

@Jay Kline totally true; I have an aversion to a lot of oak influence and high alcohol on Nebbiolo. Its all about the elegance and aromatics for me

@Zach D agreed…but the high alcohol is often hard to avoid in Barolo these days

When initially opened, it was tight and I was hit in the face with tannin and acidity; obviously too young, decanted 1.5 hours and opened with aromas of licorice, anise, dried red flowers, tar, red berries. Palate evolved over 2.5 hours. Licorice, dried strawberry, forest floor, cranberry; still high acidity and tannin. Excellent wine, and has that sweet fruit profile absent of any residual sugar, which is always fascinating to me; blows lots of 60 dollar Barolo and barbaresco out of the water; I would let rest until at least 2027, and at that point I would expect a stunner. @Lyle Fass — 6 months ago

Killer stuff and needs lots of air. He’s so old school.

Ochetti Langhe Nebbiolo 2023

Stainless steel version
Pure varietal
When you pour it the colour is bright, luminous
I reckon nebbiolo has the most sensual appearance ever..you can tell i am getting excited
Fruit here is sourced from Roero so the expression is slightly darker on the nose.
Tannin is smooth
Excellent stuff, truly elegant

Nice effort!

Valgella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2018

Needs an hour decant. Prior to that discombobulated.

Immensely age worthy.

Nose: exquisite. Virgin pink roses. White flowers. The musk of beauty. So precise.

Hint of orange peel as it opens.

Palate: this ephemeral embryo of a cherry. Hint of cocoa. Silky. Just perfect.
