Villero di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo

This wine is old enough to drink itself. And it should, because it's fucking awesome. On it's last revolution, but holding strong. Hard to put into words the specialness of tonight. A woman I poured it for said "I know what happened in the 1930s." She turned out to be from the 1910s. I told her "Barolo speaks directly to my brain."

Yummy this was WOTN

Nice clean fruit, delicious juicy finish

Beautiful aromatics showing sweet red berry, savory spices, cedar, balsamic, orange peel, rose petal & tobacco

Excellent bottle though noticeably shy of the riserva he makes. In a great place in terms of age.

This bottle was outstanding. Opened with a rusty hue but 4 hours in the decanter and the color came back ruby red and the classic Nebbiolo notes were abounding. Dare I say it was even fresh at times. This ethereal wine has more years ahead. But it was outstanding tonight. An absolute stunner.

Anniversary dinner- wine was brilliant and my wife looking beautiful. Tar and roses on volume eleven. Pure joy in a glass.

This was rich and powerful with dried red cherry, leather, blood orange, truffle and rose petal becoming more elegant over time.

Plenty of structure and potential! Should certainly be decanted - needs at least two hours. But so balanced and ethereal. Am excited to revisit in 5 years!

Check out the price tag. Ha! The best.
