2016 Agricola Brandini Barolo La Morra

Nebbiolo more

3/18/2024 - gfwetzel Likes this wine: 92 points

The color is medium garnet with some brown tinges. The aromas are of cherries, plums, forest floor, and just a tinge of menthol. The flavors are of cherries, plums, mushrooms, with a hint of tar. The wine has a medium body with acid slightly less than balance demands, making it less fresh. There are soft tannins. The finish is quite long with lingering fruit. ABV 14%.

Decanted 1/2 bottle with a Coravin. Tasted immediately, then after 1 and 2 hours. Drank after 3 hours. Recommend giving it 2 hours in decanter, then begin drinking to follow the wine as it opens more in the glass.

The next day I prepared to take this to a friend's for a tasting and double decanted the remaining 1/2. Then forgot to take it. It sat for 2 days in the bottle with the cork inserted. Opened it on the 3rd day, expecting not much. I was very happy with the wine after all that. The wine added more mushroom and some secondary aromas: tar, pencil lead, cedar. The balance was better, and it seemed more integrated. The wine added some herbal flavors to the palate. The finish was still long, but the fruit forward finish off before became a long continuation of the palate. Quite nice. I upped my score to 92 (from 89).

Slank, diskret druetypisk nebbiolo. Fast og tverr i munnen. Må ha mat nå. Mulig den kan få hvile en ti års tid. 12 mnd på store eikefat. Blir nok aldri det helt store

Medium garnet, clear. Smells like red fruits, smoke, lemon, bit of floral. Full body, high acid, good length, with flavors of high toned red fruits, lemon, and minerals. Solid restaurant option, especially at 50% off on happy hour.

2015 Agricola Brandini Barolo R56

Nebbiolo more

12/25/2023 - MaurizioAbba Does not like this wine: 85 points

Pale garnett with hints of brick orange on the edge.

The nose is pretty muted after hours of decanting. There are classic barolo notes, rose, red cherry (mature), tar. No detectable oak. Leather and resin wood shows the age of the wine. A clear nose, but lacking in intensity and complexity.

It is in the mouth where the wine truly shines: the entrance is vertical, characterized by high and yet rounded acidity, high mature tannins, medium body and medium+ alcol. In the mid palate the tannins becomes slightly more stalky, making the wine fall off balance. The aftertaste is dominated by red cherry and leather notes. Medium length, with persistent tannins.

A graceful product, but there are too many errors to make this wine go into 90+ territory. The lack of intensity in the nose, the spiky tannins in the mid palate, the lack of equilibrium in the aftertaste. More work is needed for this product.

2015 Agricola Brandini Barolo Cerretta

Nebbiolo more

11/30/2019 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Likes this wine: 90 points

One of the four "cru Barolo's" from Brandini. A single vineyard wine from the plains of Cerretta in the Serralunga d'Alba area of the eastern part of the region. Clay and limestone brings a fourth dimension to this wine - much more mineral-driven compared to the Barolo's from La Morra (both in nose and taste). Besides obvious red fruit, the nose reveals green herbs of mint and eucalyptus. Very dry taste with a stringent and erect mouthfeel and with high tannins. Clearly too young for consumption in 2019.

First wine I try from this producer. Brandini is a relatively new up-and-coming producer in the industri, but I must say, that I believe the hype, when I taste the juice. A garnet red color in the glass. Fresh forrest strawberries and sour red and black cherries. Floral notes of roses and savory notes of anise and tobacco. The taste fruity with surprisingly soft tannins for such a young wine. Not bad at all but would be very curious to see how this wine represents itself 10-15 years from now...

Klar lys rød. Stofflig, gode røde bær, krydder, noe eik og jordsmonn. En deilig barolo, men ville hatt godt av noen år til med lagring. Blir å kjøpe flere.

Drinking really nicely right now. Blood orange, tart, tangy, acidity and tannin in strong harmony. Great mix of depth but light on its feet.

Light straw in color, this wine's nose has white flowers, pear, apple, and quince, and wet stone aromas. The palate has quince, apple, kiwi, layered over a limestone base. As it warms, it adds a whiff of tar to the nose and an earthy note to the palate. Medium+ acid. It has a medium body with soft mouth-feel and a medium+ finish. ABV 13.5%. Good QPR.

Nicely made wine, especially if you're looking for something without much citrus. Paired well with ham & beans with herbes de Provence.

Bu en succ.
Fait à dominance de Viognier.
Le fait que ce soit un blend,
le côté hyper fruits exotiques du
Viognier est plus subtile, ce que
j'aime bien.
Sur les melons, les citrons et les
fleurs blanche. Un peu d'herbes et
de silex aussi. La finale est longue et sapide.
Très bon.
