Community Tasting Notes 3

  October 14, 2015 - Although I wasn't expecting the depth and complexity of a Barolo or Barbaresco, this scrawny Nebbiolo was a disappointment. There was a structural skeleton with little flesh on it. Tar notes are often an attractive component in Barolo but here they were dominant with a dash of quinine added in. Just drinkable. On this evidence Nebbiolo needs the best terroirs, but some, e.g. Sandrone, do much better than this outside the hallowed areas.

  April 18, 2012 - Actually thought I was being poured a barbaresco, and upon tasting thought it was a middling/simple one, until learning it was actually just their basic nebbiolo and being rather impressed. For that price, it's a worthy wine, but nothing to get excited over.

  October 2, 2011 - Some of the electric purple fruit on the nose, I normally associate with grenache based wines. Nice fruit, though really very little depth. Was told this is all barbaresco fruit, seemed a bit of a stretch to me. Maybe shorter time in oak, less time in the bottle? Simply tasted simple.
