If you like Mollydooker, you'll love this wine. If you don't, you won't. It's really that simple. Jammy, extracted fruit bomb. Kinda like some New Zealand Sauv Blancs, this wine is just extreme in style. Delicate? No. Finesse? No. Delicious??? Yes, absolutely. Try it with foods that have similar extreme flavors. BBQ sauce or something of the like.

Very nice. One of my few experiences with Barbaresco. I normally prefer the bolder style of Barolo. But this bottle really hit the mark on my mother's b-day. Everyone was very pleased. The best part was how versatile the wine was with food. At the restaurant we all ordered different foods. This easily went as well with my veal marsala as it did with a variety of chicken dishes. As I've always said, there's no better pairing than Italian wine with Italian food.

Delicious. A bit tannic on the finish. Could still use a little more time.
