Community Tasting Note

ctbob Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 24, 2017 - I remember standing with a winemaker and looking over the Rio Sordo vineyard and asking, "Ma dove'e il rio!?" He told me it was underground. Then it all made sense, and for whatever reason, Rio Sordo became my favorite Barbaresco vineyard right then.

So I'm pre-disposed to like this wine. Trying to be objective, it's heavier than a typical Rio Sordo, and it's still very primary, even at 10 years. Objective proof it's a delish mid-weight red in a good drinking spot: first bottle drained at the table. Seems like it might
have another ten years in it, if you like your nebbiolos old.
