Classic Nebbiolo markings of rose petals, strawberries, and firm tannins. Don't think just because this bottle is affordable that it's not age-worthy. Definitely have a peek now to assess whether you like the style (it's right down the middle in a good way in my view) but don't be afriad to let some rest.

14.5% ABV. Translucent ruby garnet in the glass. Pretty classic nebbiolo nose of waxy violets/roses. Medium full bodied with red fruits that mimic the nose and slightly cottony tannins that build with air. Not bad for a value Barolo, I suppose. 90ish.

Not an unreasonable negociant-produced little daily drinker barolo, good value and a good QPR at this price point. Enjoyed earlier tonight as the second wine with Kim and some of the former foreign exchange students that we have been involved with in the past with a dinner of crock pot lamb and vegetables. Fairly bold, full bodied, reasonably well balanced, no off tones. Nose dark with blackberry, blueberry, very fragrant and fruit forward. Primary flavors included black pepper, some terroir and dark / blue fruit and berries.

Good Barolo, but potentially reaching end-of-life. Lots of sediment, and a dry earthy profile.
