gave the glass air for over an hour. wine softened up considerably showing rose and tar on the nose. beautiful cherry fruit with just a hint of bitter almond on the finish. a great langhe nebbiolo but not quite as wonderful as the 2021. great depth of fruit from not necessarily all younger vines. love the line-up of wines from cavallotto. can't wait to taste the 2021 baroli this is top of class as far as langhe nebbiolo goes!

a beautiful kabinett. white peach, citrus, and a hint of minerality. just a tad bit more residual sugar than i would like but hey, it's a Kabinett! drank slightly chilled after an hour decant. paired well with thai food.

great classic Barbaresco. aging quite well and perhaps a bit shutdown at this point. classic notes of cherry and rose with an impressive depth of fruit. not a long ager IMHO. if you have a case, break out the first bottle as this wine in now at the beginning of its drinking window. the phenolic ripeness of the fruit just blows me away with this wine in the 2016 vintage. it's what makes the 2016 vintage perhaps the best of all time. sorry '71 fans.
