  Barolo Master Class (Johns Creek, GA): Tasted during a "Barolo Master class" at The Wine Store in John's Creek, GA. Bottle opened for 3 hours prior to tasting and tasted with cheese, bread and charcuterie. WOTN for me. Color is dark brownish red with orangish rim. Outstanding nose, barely any tannin. Mouthfilling fruit with a woodsy note. This is from a vineyard with limestone soil and a cooler climate. Brad - heavypourwine.com

  2012 Barolo / Barbaresco (Terra Rossa N1): On the nose ripe plum, spices, light tar and dried cherry. Still quite fresh and lifted.
  On the palate this isn’t quite ready to go - there are depths there but swamped by tannins very quickly.

  2012 Barolo/Barbaresco (Terra Rossa): Much leaner and brighter than the Vajra, and perhaps more typical of Ravera in that respect. High-toned nose with blackcurrant, which isn't a scent I associate with Barolo. Very juicy tart red fruit on the palate, slightly stern and austere, with somewhat drying tannins. I upscored this towards the end of the glass, and think it needs time.

  Wonderful spicy nose: quite complex. Ditto palate, with depth. Perhaps not a great wine (there is a certain lacking of complexity) but lovely balance in the mouth.

  Classic Barolo notes abound,with fragrant roses and tar on the nose and an equal amount in the palate, with very well integrated tannins that are best described as fined grained. This has aged well and can continue to do so.
