Overview A well-balanced and approachable Barolo Riserva from the excellent 2018 vintage, showcasing Nebbiolo’s elegance in a more accessible, casual style. This Riserva delivers structure and harmony without heaviness, making it an appealing value-driven expression of classic Barolo character.
Aromas & Flavors Lifted aromas of dried rose petals and tart red fruits immediately stand out, followed by subtle earthy undertones and hints of spice. The profile remains clean, varietally expressive, and inviting from start to finish.
Mouthfeel Supple and smooth tannins for a Barolo Riserva, especially at this stage. Medium-bodied with a polished texture and good balance, offering an easygoing yet authentic Nebbiolo experience.
Food Pairings Braised meats, mushroom-based dishes, truffle pasta, risotto, or aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano.
Verdict A solid and well-crafted Barolo Riserva that hits a sweet spot between tradition and approachability. Casual in style yet respectful of Nebbiolo’s brilliance, this is a great-value option for enjoying Barolo without waiting decades. — 3 months ago
05 is drinking wonderful, best 20 bucks I've ever spent. Do yourself a favor and pick one up at TJs. Looks like rusty water in the glass. Smells like heaven, violets and various floral notes. After sitting in the glass for a bit the tannins kick into high gear. Smell, mid pallet, and finish all top notch. Enjoy! — 9 years ago
