Community Tasting Notes (average 92.7 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 15 notes) | |
| Tasted by cadamson on 2/7/2010 & rated 95 points: This wine was hitting on all cylinders tonight. Res/light rust in color, the nose was glorious, full of violets, leather, fruit, truffle and tar. Simply silk on the palate, lots of red fruits, Indian spices with earthy components that evolved nicely in the glass. Still some tannins on the long finish, this will be drinking well for at least another decade. (125 views) | |

| Tasted by SevenDayMile on 12/25/2009 & rated 95 points: I usually don't stick my neck out like this, but for some reason, all of the good reviews contain little detail and the bad reviews are very descriptive. And then there's the WS98 review. Trying to balance all of this, here is my experience of this wine. From a magnum. The wine was decanted for four hours and enjoyed over the next three. The color is a deep garnet at the core and fades to a salmon pink with flecks of brickish orange. Visually it is not showing much age. There are very concentrated aromas of leather, dark red cherries, violets, and juicy blackberries. The nose is becoming increasingly potent as the wine slowly breathes. The palate, at hour six, is starting to pick up some power. It has expressed elegant notes of sour cherry and raspberry that are turning to dried red cherries, red currant, and blackberry compote, with velvety wood and grape tannins. The finish is persistent for about 30 seconds. This is a phenomenal wine that rewards patience. There is a great mix of elegant and modern styles of Barolo, and the wine develops spectacularly in the glass. On the down side, the intense nose is not quite supported with the length and structure of a classic wine. 95. (404 views) | |

| Tasted by Patsdynasty on 11/2/2009 & rated 90 points: Given the positive reviews of late I thought I'd try one. I hope it was just too early as this was nothing special. Lacking in fruit and not giving up much. Decanted for several hours and it got better (a bit more fruit and the tannins softened) but then it turned to a varnish type smell. Will hold the others for at least two years and hope. (893 views) | |

| Tasted by Anonymous on 8/25/2008: full bodied and thick silky texture. black licorice, some alcohol heat, deep red cherries, lots of menthol and a very generous slab of oak. not especially nuanced or graceful and after 4 hours of decanting I expected more layers of aromas. not bad but for the money, I'd rather have mon privato or cascina francia....hands down.

| Tasted by il_diavolo on 3/25/2008 & rated 90 points: popped and poured and maybe it was a mistake as i wasnt impressed given high expectations. It is a good barolo for sure but even an hour and a half later it still felt closed so not sure what to make of it. Maybe it needs time. for me no comparison with the extravagantly good 2001.

| Tasted by llink on 9/30/2007: Popped and poured. Tar, roses and anise on the nose. Closed up very tight palate, opened with swirling. Needs time or a long decant to show properly. (2313 views) | |
| Tasted by winefool on 10/22/2005 & rated 93 points: WS New York Wine Experience 'Top Ten' Tasting (New York Marriott Marquis): Bright red/crimson. Lovely brigth red cherry nose - clean. Big bright rred fruit on a firm tannic frame. Tight but nice - should improve dramatically with age. (3415 views) | |
| Tasted by trankin on 10/22/2005 & rated 92 points: WS "Top 10 2004" Tasting (New York Marriott Marquis): Dark red, hint of rust color, transparent. Nose of alcohol, earth, bing cherries. Tart cherries, tannins predominate. Glycerinic mouthfeel. Needs a lot of time. Strikes me that the wine will improve and could be much better several years from now. (4228 views) | |
| Tasted by otisabdul on 11/5/2004 & rated 92 points: 2004 WS Wine Experience" 2000 Barolos (Hyatt Regency, Chicago): Represented on the dais by the enchanting Enrica Scavino. The vineyard name (which translates to "Hill of the Flask") is derived from the the habit of workers in the vineyard bringing a flask of wine with them to get through the long workdays. The vines are average around 40 years old. Terrific bouquet of anise, fennel, raspberry and hazelnut. The tightly wound fruit is shaded with a certain spiciness, and even saltiness. Not as ripe as the Sandrone, but very long and tannic. 900 cases made. $105. (4892 views) | |
| Tasted by winefool on 11/1/2004 & rated 91 points: Full red. Rich aroma of deep red/black fruit with a nice spiciness. Nice red fruit on a tight tannic frame. These Barolos all needed years of bottle age to start showing - this wine may be great one day, I have no idea. 11/04 (2933 views) |

About red wine Varietal character (Appellation America) | Nebbiolo on CellarTracker Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctor Vignaioli Piemontesi (Italian only) Union of Producers of Albese Wines (Albeisa) Regional History: The wines of Piemonte are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piemonte was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piemontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power. |
