Thursday, June 2, 2022 - E guessed right on our Butchers Table blind-taste session, Nebbiolo and a classical one too - I guessed Pinot!

Wonderful bottle, and the unanimous WOTN (wine of the night) thanks to WMK for bringing this along - Wonderful vintage, with feminity and elegance, but has some integrated complexity as well. Ripe blackberries and some cola comes through beautifully.

The body is full, and some mild sweetness with luscious tannins. Oak does not over-power but creates the balance in this Barolo. Not the easiest varietal in my opinion, and I have had as many good as average Barolos!

I agree with Robert Parker that this is a memorable vintage - Growing season was cooler, and the end product is both fresh as well as bright.

Butchers Table, Hartamas, Malaysia - 2 Jun 2022
