Riserva Monfortino Barolo Nebbiolo 2008

Decanted over 4 to 5 hours. Tobacco. Deep dark mature fruit. Tons or layers and complexity. This opened up very nicely at 90 minutes. Was spectacular by hour 3. This has tons of room to grow too. — 3 days ago

Thank you. It’s a tad early but I couldn’t resist. It will be stunning in another 5 years.

Riserva Gran Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

Weighty and deep. Dark colored. Mature to the point of being a bit too aged. Tannins were mellowed but it just seemed like a less lively bottle this time around. — a month ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart fruits: Morello cherry, raspberry, cranberry, roses, tar, cool spices and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. I found this bottle to be a little shy for the first 30min or so but opened up nicely by the end of our meal. Drink now through 2040. — 22 days ago

Usually interesting and fairly affordable. Solid Barolo primer.

Cascina Dardi-Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

A Barolo for the yearners. Myself I had high expectations for this drop. Here's a small descriptor- the flavors are commending & perfectly respectable ,alas slightly cloying. — 4 days ago

Nice. 2016 was an ideal year for Barolo.

Definitely better on 2nd day. Hopefully the 3rd day will be a charm!
