March 24, 2024 - Nick's "Good Barolo and Barbaresco" Dinner - Friday 22 March, 67 Pall Mall; 3/24/2024-3/25/2024 (67 Pall Mall): Needed some swirling to get going but this was lovely, dried fruit and a touch of pepper on the nose, lovely deep fruits on the palate. A fine tannic structure. Lovely wine.

March 22, 2024 - Good Barolo and Barbaresco (67 Pall Mall): A classic nose, with lift and soul, and a floral quality. Pretty acidity made the wine very refreshing. Delicate and unlikely to improve, but with beautifully mature flavour and holding up well. Just so tasty; I don't think my note has done the wine justice, as it was my WOTN and the group's #5.

March 22, 2024 - Nick A's "Good Barolo and Barbaresco" at 67 PM (67 Pall Mall, London): Nose a little soupier that the Gaja this is served with. Some well polished dresser and some roasted chestnuts. Fine tannins. With air it gains focus and some roses emerge. Lovely acidity.

March 22, 2024 - Nick’s Barolo and Barbaresco (67 Pall Mall, London): 5/6. Pale mahogany. Quite developed, mushroon, truffle. Medium bodied, savoury with gamey notes, truffle again, fully resolved tannins, fresh acidity, finishes quite well.

January 15, 2024 - Glorious bouquet right off the initial pour, and matching flavors: sweet cherry, and all the traditional Nebbiolo character (mentioned below) in a great evolutionary spot where the structure is resolved and the fresh acidity remains. It thrilled everyone and well stored bottles are better than the 92+ rating on this site.
ps, I find I have a clear preference for the 98 vintage over 96.

8/8/2007 (link) 90 points(Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto di Serralunga d'Alba) Focused dried cherry nose; tart, iron, with a notion of raspberry, but essentially fruitless, lighter bodied than the other reds thus far, and yet hot on the palate; medium finish
