Full-bodied, thick, muscular Barolo. Lots of fruit, and some tar and earth notes. The tannins are fully integrated though very much a presence in this wine.

Big and bold, fruit-forward, modern-styled Barolo. Ripe red fruit, leather, earth, and smoke. Not much happening on the finish, but otherwise good. Great QPR at $30 from WTSO. Glad I have another bottle left as it should develop and improve for another 2-4 years, though a pleasure to drink now.

This is a massive wine with very bold flavors and aromas, yet surprisingly balanced, with a luxuriant mouthfeel. Smokey, meaty, earthy character with ripe plum fruit, cedar, spice on the mid palate. One of the best QPRs ever from WTSO at $30 per bottle. Glad I have 2 more bottles while I will wait another 3 years on at least.

Massive and young. Wish I can revisit in 5 years, but this is our only bottle. Tar and leather with berries on the long finish. Great food wine, good anytime wine.

At pop, it seemed like a rich pinot, but after about 30min, the body asserted itself. Rich, smokey black and red fruits, a good dollop of smoke and round, full tannins. Killer QPR.

Young, bold, and a bit brash. Stunning fruit aromas and flavors of strawberry, cherry, and raspberry along with earthy tones of loam, herbs, and toasted oak. Enjoyable now, but it will likely improve with some bottle time.

Nebbiolo Prima (day 4) #240. Fascinating little wine, and one you would do well to try if given the chance. Herbs, toast, tomato soup and pain grille adjacent to high-toned cherry and strawberry. The entry is huge, the palate broad and the tannins firm and strong. Could benefit from some bottle rest, and may well turn into something more than it is now. Drink thru 2019+

A beautiful fruity Barolo that leans to the modern side. This Nebbiolo has a wide appeal.
