    January 1, 2024 - 2024 New Year's Day Double Blind Tasting: Double-blind. Wow! The nose is rocking! This is what Nebbiolo should always taste like. Fully mature, resolved tannin, high acidity, some mahogany wood with high toned red fruit. This is in its sweet spot right now. My WOTN edging out my '95 Haut Brion.

    November 18, 2023 - A killer vintage for Giacosa and the white label Barolo is absolutely singing (with 8+ hours of air). So much pure, floral, spice-filled fruit with harmonious balance. Still just getting started in its peak drinking window.

    November 18, 2023 - Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VIII (Chicago, IL): #1016. Opened at 9:30am, and left in a decanter starting at 11am. This was the most accessible wine of the flight and drinking very, very well (as has been the case for a while now). Red fruited, floral, and a good balance of weight and elegance. Approachable now, but certainly with enough in the bank for decades to come. I'm a big fan of this wine, and the contents of the group's cellars can also attest to that not being a unique opinion.

  • Dibbs Does not like this wine:

    July 30, 2023 - After having such a life-changing Giacosa last week, this was a real disappointment. Came across overripe with strong VA both on the palate and nose. Kept a small pour overnight and the next day no discernible changes. Bottle variation or barrel variation more like it?

    July 29, 2023 - C & YM Birthday Dinner (Empire Chinese Cuisine): Blind. Jammy, touch of sour cherry, liquorice, some heat, high acid, smooth tannins. Guessed this as Sangiovese as the tannins were not high enough and the heat. Later in the night, this did open and give signs of the elegant style Giacosa wines.
