Lecinquevigne Barolo Nebbiolo

Cuvée from five excellent domaines. Tea dominated. Needed some rustic food…
A few hours in the decanter helped.

2016: Surprisingly good Barolo, one of the less expensive Damilano bottlings. Classic sour cherry, tar, leather flavors with tight tannins that loosen up after 4 hours. Good concentration and mouthfeel for this 2016 version with better mikes ahead. $45? At JFW.

If I could only drink Barolo, Nebbiolo & Dolcetto for the rest of my life I think I’d be okay with it.

Not a favorite. Too tart - even after several hours. Seemed to be underripe. Light on the cherry and raspberry with tar, tobacco, and earth on the palate. Tannins we’re fine - lingering and balanced. Disappointing for a 2016 vintage.

Boti. Brown color, tabaco, truffles, cherries, cocoa, chocolate, tar on the nose, high acidity, firm tannins,

From Johnsons

Excellent value, surprised at how well this wine was integrated despite its age. Black cherry, blackberries, mushroom, and vanilla. @ Massimo Camia
