Léon Barolo Nebbiolo

Drank 11/5/21.

Presently I am dealing with sneezing and nasal congestion from a cold my youngest gifted me. I am not able to properly provide tasting notes, but can assess the the nose includes the traditional tar and roses, and the palate seems well balanced. Tannins seem integrated as well. I'm guessing that this would be somewhere between an 89-92 so we will call it 91.

Marasque cherry, leather and roses.

Seems mellowed, round tannins and delicate fruit.

Sold on the aroma. True old world wine with full body, tannins, and notes of tobacco and blackberry

Very nice Barolo with beef tenderloin. Still has A lot of tannins!

Celebration wine (paid off the Tundra).... This is layered and evolving, with a nose of tobacco smoke, tar, black plum, cherry kirsch, dried violet and rose, bay leaf, sage, anise, and blackcherry. Round, sweeter dark berry and cherry fruit on the palate. Structure builds in mouthcoating tannin balanced by rich acidity. Spice box, leather and tar on the mid-palate. Acidity is still fresh, almost tart, and lifts a finish that is balanced and lingers for 60+ seconds. Underripe cherry and gravel. A touch of warmth speaks to the vintage and comune. This over-delivers at the price point with outstanding complexity, depth and length. Hold for 3-5 more years, then enjoy over an evening.

Elegant with smooth tannins, bright fruit

Good nose but a lighter Barolo than I had hoped for.

Beautiful nose, fruit and mineral finish

Sumptuous is a word wine people use
