7/23/2015 - NEBBIOLODOC Does not like this wine: 74 points

I was anxious to open my first bottle and weigh in on the debate. First glass of wine I can remember that I was unable to finish. Usually able to find some quality in every wine to appreciate. Not the case here. Artificial cotton candy/marshmallow fluff/ child's' cough syrup combination. All of natures' imprint on the grape just wiped away. Truly disappointing. Will gift away my remaining bottle..

Tremendous value. Baby barbaresco that is drinkable now and has many of the characteristics that I enjoy in this producers' riserva barbaresco bottlings.

Big fan of this producer, but this bottle disappointed. Drank after 1 hour decant. Nice ruby color and promising nose of dark red fruits. On the palate,however, the fruit seemed dull and the tannins seem to dominate the flavor profile. Will wait another few years to have remaining bottles and use longer decant.

2006 Rivetto Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D'Alba

Drank 2 hours after opening. Cherries, menthol and cocoa. Well integrated tannins. Medium length finish. Increased herbal and floral components develop with time in glass. Really nice young Barolo.

Tasted at Familie Perrin dinner at Charlotte WIne and food festival. Quite simply, one of the finest white wines I have ever had. Amazing bouquet of citrus. Flavors of Lemon, vanilla and crushed rock. Great minerality. Delicious. Ordered a 1/2 case in wooden box. Looking forward to enjoying continued development through time.

Very nice PnP. Bought this after tasting in barbaresco at winery. Bright red fruits and enough tannins to provide structure. Food friendly acidity. Would decant next time as it evolved over 2 hr consumption.

Purchased based on Galloni review and 93 pt rating. Pleasant dolcetto but lacked depth and complexity mentioned in review. Sipped throughout thanksgiving afternoon. Did not make strong impression. 2 bottles to go. Hoping for more next time

Surprisingly bright Chardonnay with some years on it. Citrus fruits and butterscotch. Lengthy finish with strong minerality. Probably on the down side of its drinking window but great QPR

Earth, dark cherries and spice. Medium finish and decent acidity. Went well with pork roast tonight. Have been holding off on Sojourn single vineyard pinots from 2011 up to now. Out of Sonoma coast so it's time to open them

Drank with Manley's while sitting next to Mandy Patankin at Good food on Montford. Silky smooth texture. Red cherries and vanilla with well integrated tannins and medium length finish. Loved this wine in Piemonte. Great with food here in the states.

Disappointing. Not an expensive wine but based on excellent press I expected a nice everyday drinker. Dull fruit. Not very interesting. Short finish. Makes me happy to stay with italy and Spain to find best QPR. Would not buy again.

Odd, strong, "barnyard" nose upon first opening. Blew off after 30 min decant revealing beautiful strawberries and earth. Everyone enjoyed. Think I would wait another year to open next bottle.

Tasted in Italian alps last spring. Was the most eye opening wine of the entire trip (piedmonte and veneto). An explosion of pear, vanilla and lemon. Long finish. Complex. Flavor profile keeps changing during 30 sec finish. Not generally a fan of dessert wines, but his one blew me away,

Wow. Big, lush dark fruit and firm, well integrated tannins create a beautifully structured, unique blend. Steadily improved over 90 min drinking window. Definitely decant. Glad to have 5 more bottles and see how this wine evolves over the next few years (if I can keep hands off of it!)
