October 13, 2022 - Paired well with duck mushroom risotto: 91-92.
A few sip atfer meal: not as good: 88
This wine needs well paired food.
September 15, 2022 - 88-89. Nice now. Wife: 93-94 !
April 15, 2022 - Rosy, perfumed, cherries and strawberries, medium+ length, sandy tannins, drinking well but probably winding down.
May 31, 2021 - Adouze for 4 hours. Drinking very well.
December 5, 2020 - π― 88/100 pts 3.9 βοΈ
ππΌ Some missing reviews from last weekend. Here a bottle of Barolo from Fontanafredda..
π¨ Dark ruby ββred color with a tiny edge of orange.
ππΌ Scents of ripe fruit, dark cherry, plum, tobacco, leather and hint of roses and violins on the nose.
π Taste is bold, intense and juicy. Well balanced and remarkable firm, but well integrated tannins. Structured and optimized freshness, still with close to 10 year old matured wine. Dry, spicy finish with a bit of sweetness in the aftertaste.
January 25, 2020 - Still very young. Regalilz leather. High acidity and very tannic. Great to cut with a fatty meat
October 12, 2019 - Very nice with filet mignon on the BBQ with sweet bourbon sauce
July 1, 2018 - hard to beat value in a Barolo
April 7, 2018 - an excellent value reminder of the many pleasures of Barolo! drinking nicely now but should be good for a few years yet. Not as complex as the big boys but at this price it's pretty darn good.
December 29, 2017 - PnP 2/3 of the bottle let air for 1hr. Roses cherries touch of earth and a hint of tar on the nose. Ripe but fresh and dry in the plate with flavours that follow the nose. Delicious and good value.
