Fantastic nose filled with roses and tar. A little short in the mouth and some dominant oak was notable as well!

Sista flaskan och jag kommer inte sakna dem. Frukten ligger dov i gommen och det är lite "tuggit" i munnen. Klart åt blåa bär, det som finns kvar. Inbillar mig att mycket i integrerad ek tagit över och ger den där dova smaken. Helt klart drickbart och korrekt men föredrar mer alerta viner.

Detta är skitgott!! Perfekt mognad, laktris, mentol, rosenträdgård och knastertorra tanniner. Lite burgundisk i sin framtoning men med ett gott bett i tandköttet utan att det för den skull känns för strävt! I mitt tycke mitt i drickfönstret! Som det är nu matchar det mat såsom kalv med kantarellelsås grymt! 2004orna leverererar för tillfället! Spara inte längre om ni vill ha vinet till mat!

Ok but not as excellent as i hoped for.
To early maybe?

Nice, still fruit present but sweetly integrated with smooth tannins and noticable but not disturbing oak. In combination with some acidity it is a good food wine. Get kind of a C9dP feeling but in a good way! Old Scool style. Last bottle so buy buy and think you very much!

Supernice! Dried fruit, smooth tannins, nice structure! The blueberries and licorice are there but in a very nice way! Went well with the lambshank slowly coocked for hours in the oven! Wotn with RWT 2008 and St.Henri 2010. Now that is! More to come from the other Aussies!

A little strange mix but very well Done wine. Now with smooth tannins and reduced fruit. Oak noticable but not disturbing. Drank without food.

Riktigt bra Amarone i sina bästa år! Björnbär, blåbär och en mjuk ljuvlig känsla i munnen! Fortfarande mycket frukt och den höga alkoholen balanseras bort perfekt! Skulle våga säga en matvänlig amarone.

Wonderful on the nose already at 11 deg C. With some time the wine became Quite strange. Bergamott, roses, herbs but kind of to much for a Barolo. Concentrated roses more like in a perfume. In a whorehouse. But with time very drinkable. Smooth tannines, some acid almost to easy to drink to match with food. Hard to judge/rate. Not my kind of Barolo but not to bad at the same time. Maybe i Should delete this irrational note... It was a Magnum and wife sleeping since hours...

Mörkt, mycket distinka kaffetoner, björnbär och lite tuggmotstånd i munnen! Rustikt vin utan större finess men en bra kompanjon till den ölkokta älgen vi åt till. Bra till höstgrytor men även gott efteråt! Man känner att det varit väldigt strävt tidigare men att det nu blivit drickbart ;-) Gott! Mycket fällningar så en dekantering innan servering rekommenderas.

Något nedslipat, mycket mörka bär, lite choklad och en del kaffe. De rostade tonerna slår igenom lite när frukten lagt sig. Dracks utan mat vilket sångare inte skall göra nästa gång! Nog grymt till höstens grytor!

Bra mycket bättre än förra flaskan! Eken betydligt bättre integrerad men dock kännbar... Viol, rosor, örter i näsan och nedslipade tanniner i munnen. Lite.besviken dock pga Gaja men en juste barolo utan tvekan. Nu eller inom 5. Förväntar mig nog inte större förändringar då frukten börjat försvinna men eken består. Gott!

Very nice wine! Cork broke but I managed to get it out without problems anyway. Ruby red with a fantastic nose of Strawberries and hints of vanilla. In the mouth same feeling bit Strawberries evenemang more present. Lacks some acidity to really pair with food that demands some recistance. Had it with Confit de Canard and it was ok. Much better after dinner. i had the 2006 some years back but i recon this vintage far better. Glad to have more bit the next bottles I will have without food!

9/13/2014 - gbgpatrik wrote:

Gott, nedslipade tanniner, relativt låg syra. Drar åt björbärshållet men lite platt. Kanske bättre nyss... Fast mognadstonerna puttar upp poängen lite i min värld. Ett gott vin med lite mognad helt enkelt. PnP rakt från källaren med 17 grader som start temp. Ingen mat.

Without doubt a very well made wine! Lots of herbes and rather dark fruits on the nose! In mouth similar feeling but unfortunately the oak/smoke is not integrated and stands out a bit. A bit chewie feeling with the wine kind of sticking on the teeths. The alcohol also bites a bit but not way to much. It is a full body wine Quite straight forward driven by fruit and punch, not by elegance. Overall i like it but Will drink My remaining bottles in the wintertime with a game stew or similar dish that can take the wines intensity. Hard cheese like gruyere, comté and parmesan Will also match well.

Bra syra, måttliga tanniner, drar åt mörka bär, björnbär, körsbär. Känner lite tobak/ceder i bakgrunden. Syran påfallande frisk vilket gör att jag tror att denna dryck passar ypperligt till gris med lite insprängt fett om man håller sig borta från allt för välgrillat eller välkryddat kött. Noteringar från vinet vid 16 grader.

Fina mognadstoner, lite vitpeppar, björbär, multna löv. Helt integrerat vin som aldrig varit bättre än nu! Moderata tanniner och syra.

Nice everyday wine! You get some ceder, pencilnotes from the cab as well as some chark, blood and white pepper from the Syrah. Not to heavy and tannanic! Easy to match with almost everything that normally goes with red wine! A very good wine to have around.

Far better then the last bootle that was over the top. The pepper tones were almost gone and secondary Tones appears. Still with medium tannines. Suddenly the QPR seems good. I stoppad bytingar this wine some years Ago but maybe I Should start again.

Väldigt mjukt och låga tanniner. Syran sticker ut och vinet känns lite obalanserat. Annas gott med drag av mörkare bär.

Best La Spinetta Nebbiolo so tal! Well integrated tannines. The wine is much softer now then a year ago. Some acid present but everything is now in harmony! The oak is also present but rather elegant in the background!

Great barbera! Steel sharp acid! Perfect with fatty pork or other food with high fat content! In the mouth we have dark berries, blueberries, with a kind a mature feeling! The wine feals fresh so the mature parts are only adding extra parts to the experience! I like it and will keep on addding La Spinettas Barbera wines to my cellar for enjoyment some 4-5 years after release!
