Barolo Ginestra: Drank out of the one liter club bottle. It’s always fascinating, how easy in a blind tasting you can identify the Spinetta Barolos. Bouquet of blueberries, coconut and some almonds. The palate is probably not as powerful as expected from a 2010 Barolo, tannins were quite in Check and the overall balance is excellent.

Still far too young but with a few hours air shows its potential. Lighter than past vintages, in a good way, oak is not nearly as prevalent. Rose, tar, leather, all that you would expect. Gripping tannins. Look forward to trying this in 5 years.

Au «théatre Les Saules» , Captain Americaaaa présente: La Spinetta Vursu Vigneto Campe 2010 , Barolo
Oh là là! De couleur grenat aux reflets ocres et tuilés, le vin présente un nez d'orange, d'écorces et d'épices. La bouche est ample et chaude, au fruit de cerise confite sur un fond très roti aux relents de vieilles noix. Quelle sève, les amis... La longueur et la persistance du vin est époustouflante, on en a plein les narines pour très longtemps. Du grand, du TRÈS grand nebbiolo.
C'est cher, et ça le vaut amplement.

Barolo 2010 & 2001 (chez moi): amazingly light; somewhat green, slightly harbal nose nose - taste is better, fuller, the tannins are a bit aggressive and still green. Somewhat better on day 2,m this needs time to come around. 91+

Paired very well with short ribs and polenta. Great bottle that felt like it was drinking quite well at this stage.
