| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.9 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by pgb67 on 4/21/2020 & rated 94 points: Spring 2020 Memorial (Golf, Illinois): WOTN by a wide margin, and in a perfect drinking window with still-active and impressive tannins lending a nice backbone and sophistication to the wine. The flavor profile fits perfectly with the structure, offering pleasing cherry, strawberry and tar notes. More cherries on the nose. Terlo Vineyard is fairly priced but it would be a mistake to consider it entry-level barolo. GJB always liked the idea of drinking the "wine of kings." (937 views) | | | Tasted by tuckandvine on 11/17/2019 & rated 90 points: Fantastic nose and great power, drinking very well at this moment (867 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 8/1/2017: Tuesday Night Double Blind $40+ (Alpharetta, GA): Pretty dark crimson core with orange rim; beautiful nose, mint, cedar, roses, cherry, very slight cinnamon; savory, classic Barolo, sappy mid, pleasant grip; delicious, should have called this, really improved since last tasting note. (1989 views) | | | Tasted by midieh on 10/6/2013: Strong nose with very dark chocolate, dried raspberries, herbaceous liquorice, wet dirt and animality. Smells of tannins.
Full-bodied, very dry wine with rather short taste. Fruit is quite thin with some juicy dirt. Structure stays but flavour disappears.
At the moment fruit doesn't last for long. (4789 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 2/22/2013 & rated 90 points: Classic, young nebbiolo color; sweet rose, sandalwood, lots of cherry, burnt orange peel, good acid, substantial and tannic, medium finish, blowing Barolo, much more masculine form of Terlo than I'm use to. (4218 views) | | | Tasted by ljones on 12/25/2012 & rated 90 points: Opened up nicely with good cherry fruit and some typical tar notes. Seemed to close down after the first night and didn't open up again after two days. Needs at least 5 more years is my guess. (4143 views) | | | Tasted by avp on 11/16/2012: Popped and poured to enjoy over a couple of days.
Dark cherry and plum notes on the warm nose with some tar, graphite, dark chocolate, liquorice and prominent oak.
Pretty fullbodied palate of ripe mid-intense fruit, balanced acidity, tightly gripping tannins and bitter oak. Some alcoholic sweetness before the astringent, bitter and overall a bit awkward finish.
I can only hope this opens up to something brighter and less oaky. So, this is rather oaky - though not otherwise that modern. And this is also very 2007 with its dark fruit profile and pushy alcohol.
Tanzer seems to give this "90(+?) points" and - eventhough I'm no fan of assigning points to wines - I can full-heartedly agree with the "(+?)".
Better on day2 with less of the brutal oak coming through. Notes of glue and truffle have emerged. Brighter and more red-toned fruit. Opening nicely, but the aftertaste remains rather bitter. Now this feels like the coming years could make this very nice after all. (4210 views) | | | Tasted by BlancdeBlanc on 10/28/2012 & rated 90 points: Aroma: dense, mint, dark chocolate Palate: char, earth, raspberry, chocolate, raisins, licorice, chewy (Scalo) (3247 views) | | | Tasted by David Paris (dbp) on 5/10/2011 & rated 89 points: Epson Imports Pre-Arrival 2007 Barolo and 2006/7 Brunellos (Liner & Elsen, Portland OR): Nice aromas which show a fairly forward notion, but there's some really good light licorice, figs, and plums. Some berry spice, like crushed dried strawberry powder. Pretty. The palate has similarly nice fruit despite the grippy nature. There's a big grape seed flavor as well, with mild rocks. The finish is spicy and there's definitely something a little out of balance here. This had a nice trajectory on the aroma and palate, but the finish falls off a little. (2585 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 4/26/2011: Sweet fruit, new oak, agressive across the palate, lots of grip. Bunche up power, tasty. A bit hollow on the back but I would guess that is because its clenched up. (1586 views) |

| Poderi Luigi Einaudi Producer websiteNebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

The wines of Piedmont are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piedmont was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piedmontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power.
