Very good Barolo with lean muscular strength that rippled through the evening — 6 months ago
Popped and poured into red Solo cups. The 1997 “Radici” Riserva pours a garnet color with a near opaque core and a slightly orange rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe, tart, and some desiccated fruit: Montmorency cherry, plum, licorice, smoked meat, balsamico, a mix of organic and inorganic earth, exotics spices and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tanning and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and earthy. This was quite the departure from the Napa wines surrounding it but made a statement. Drink now through 2037. — 9 months ago
Lost a bit of its legs. Had to breath for 2hrs and decant. If you have it on your cellar drink it soon. — a month ago
Surprising and unique. Much more earthy than other Taurasis I’ve tried. I think I like it. But also not sure. Need to try again. About $60. — 2 months ago
The wine opens up nicely as it breathes. An enjoyable Cabernet, Merlot, Sangiovese blend. — 4 months ago
Beautiful wine with a hint of spice. Will be even better tomorrow. — 9 months ago

11 year old Barolo that aged beautifully. Still strong hints of cherries, rose, leather, and acorns. Tannins mellowed. Lasting finish. — a month ago
Beautiful wine. Will need to find more — 7 months ago
Tropical, pineapple and lemon curd; yellow apple, sweet hay, crème caramel. Nice, medium+ acid. — 3 years ago
Past its prime by one to two years. Already bricking with brown edges and some balsamic flavor. The tannins in the finish are completely smooth, but the attack is muted and slightly vinegar. Oh well. — 3 years ago

2024. Another sentimental pickup at the store tonight. My wife and I used to get the 375 mL bottles of Nivole at a local liquor/wine store in Lincoln in the early 1990’s and that store just announced they were closing after 63 years. 😢 — 6 days ago
