| | Tasted by DFBW on 11/11/2023 & rated 91 points: What great value with a decade or so of bottle age. Fantastic QPR. Drank most on Saturday - left the last glass sitting in the decanter and tasted epic 24 hours later - structured, balanced and delicious wine. Buy young, store & enjoy.. (395 views) |
| | Tasted by Will Devize on 5/14/2023 & rated 90 points: After a three hour decant this has come round in fine style. Has a certain bucolic rusticity with blueberries and scorched earth to the fore. Tannins are present and rather rugged, perfect for muting the fat on a punchy bbq lamb chop. I thought I'd caught my last bottle on a downward slope but this appears in fine fettle with plenty more left in the tank. (521 views) |
| | Tasted by DFBW on 11/16/2022 flawed bottle: Corked (735 views) |
| | Tasted by DFBW on 5/22/2022 & rated 89 points: Drank over two nights alongside a Roberto Voerzio Langhe Nebbiolo from the same vintage and this was the darker and slightly richer of the two. My last bottle of this tasted a little cooked but this one was fine and drinking pretty well right now. Very nice and good value wine that partnered well with BBQ Sirloin steak. (1183 views) |
| | Tasted by DFBW on 3/4/2022 & rated 87 points: On the evidence of this bottle, the wine is in its way out which is strange for a not particularly old Nebbiolo. Perhaps lacks structure. Tasted a little old and tired. (1311 views) |
| | Tasted by JWG on 11/25/2021 & rated 91 points: This last bottle sat for three years since the previous bottles we had, and it stood up very well. On opening, it was rather closed. Hours later it started to show both a richer nebbiolo nose and some serious palate details of earth, minerality, dark fruit and moderate tannic ending. (1404 views) |
| | Tasted by Will Devize on 9/1/2021 & rated 88 points: Floral, light with tart red currants on the palate and with good crunch and snap on the finish. Unlikely to improve. (1507 views) |
| | Tasted by Martin_G on 8/20/2021 & rated 88 points: Rather deep red. Lifted, aromatic, chocolate and hazelnut on nose. Marzipan(?). Palate is not as expressive, but quite balanced. Tiny hints of age. Some acidity and tannin. The finish is a bit hot and bitter and trails off fast although the last note stayed with me for a few minutes. Drink or hold.
A lot going on considering how cheap this is. (1317 views) |
| | Tasted by Maracaz on 1/29/2021: Very little fruit left, just acidity (1335 views) |
| | Tasted by DFBW on 1/16/2021 & rated 90 points: Still life left in this for me but perhaps around it's peak now and for the next couple of years. Always good to tuck some of these away for a few years as they are inexpensive when young with great QPR especially when cellared for a while. Great with slow cooked Dexter beef. (1260 views) |
| | Tasted by NickA on 8/1/2020 & rated 89 points: Disappointing level of evolution vs last year's bottle - felt like the acidity was just as shrill but the aromatics were less evident. Still tasty after c. 15 minutes of air, and the acidity meant a good match for some BBQ tandoori lamb shoulder. (1450 views) |
| | Tasted by DFBW on 4/2/2020 & rated 90 points: Plenty of air - around 3 hours. Lovely deep floral aroma in the glass. Drinking great right now. Plenty of fresh tasting fruit and good tannins. It lacks the depth and nuance of a Barolo of course but this is one of the best Langhe Nebbiolos I have tried - great value. (1381 views) |
| | Tasted by putter520 on 3/22/2020 & rated 92 points: Fantastic wine. Showing well right now, but will say close to its window Paired well with our Ribeye steaks. (1419 views) |
| | Tasted by AWBryce on 11/22/2019: Red fruits, sour cherry, medium tannins. Firm acid and structure, but harmonious and drinking well right now. (1493 views) |
| | Tasted by dougsmith on 11/8/2019 & rated 90 points: Medium ruby color. Nose of dusty floral notes, resin, and red berries. Medium bodied on the palate, friendly but understated with subtle notes of strawberry. (1493 views) |
| | Tasted by cbforever1 on 8/14/2019 & rated 90 points: A little beauty! (1399 views) |
| | Tasted by NickA on 6/28/2019 & rated 90 points: Fantastic complexity for the price: musky farmyard, pot pourri, violets, cherries, rolling tobacco. On the palate, the acidity takes charge and it is like bitter cherry juice, but all grown up. Tannins almost completely resolved, but this retains noticeable structure. Bottle 1/4, looking forward to following these over the coming years. (1422 views) |
| | Tasted by Will Devize on 2/15/2019 & rated 90 points: Quintessential food wine from the wonderfully consistent Produttori. First impressions are of simple rusticity but really came alive with a herby sausage and lentils dish to show great poise and depth. Notes of rose petals and cherries. Drinking well now and for the next 5 years. (1561 views) |
| | Tasted by JWG on 9/3/2018 & rated 91 points: The same delicious qualities as the bottle from April. (1960 views) |
| | Tasted by studleytrey on 6/9/2018 & rated 90 points: Transparent garnet in color. Aromas of earth, rose, black tea, orange peel, cherry, plum, vanilla, and licorice. Medium body and finish, medium (+) acid, and flavors of cherry, strawberry, orange, tangerine, black tea, clove, and dried spices. Drinking well, and perfect with carnitas tonight. (2407 views) |
| | Tasted by Haarrtwo on 5/10/2018 & rated 91 points: Perhaps needed a little more time in the cellar. (2374 views) |
| | Tasted by JWG on 4/22/2018 & rated 91 points: Consistently fabulous for the price. My notes from before stay the same. One case is not enough... (2321 views) |
| | Tasted by Kitura on 1/5/2018: Was disappointed in this one. I think the bottle was served too warm. I’ve had a few like this over the years and I’m finally realizing that, with the high alcohol content, Barbaresco and Barolo, must be served cool (ie. 18 degrees C). Otherwise, like this bottle, the alcohol and some chemical like aromas dominate. (2703 views) |
| | Tasted by MrGoldenSun on 11/26/2017 & rated 90 points: Aromatic. Dried cherry, rose, herbs. Light-medium body but flavorful with tannins that sneak up on you. Tasty. (2864 views) |
| | Tasted by DanielJH on 9/23/2017 & rated 95 points: Delicious wine. Gorgeous nose of cherries, aniseed and rose petals. On the palate, sweet and sour cherries, fennel seeds, orange peel and rose water. Fills the mouth with ripe fruit but is essentially a savoury wine. A very solid tannin structure that grips the roof of the mouth. Long finish. A lovely example of entry level Barbaresco. Drink with or without food. It will age for many years, but is good to go now if given proper decanting. (3221 views) |
