Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This Barolo from N Italy's Piedmont region shows a nose of red currant with plummy, woodsy notes and dried herbs. The palate repeats, adding nutty flavours. Extra-dry with good acidity.
Tasted July 2016

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Ten years old and still gripping your cheeks! If you are fans of big bold Barolos, this one is worth getting excited about! The aromas show pronounced berry notes, black tea floral notes and baking spice. The palate repeats this alluring ripe berry fruit notes along with vanilla bean, eucalyptus/mint, a touch of graphite, and baking spice. The acidity is well balanced and the grippy finish continues for miles. Be weary of the tannins. This style of wine is highly tannic, so if you are experimenting with this varietal for the first time (or first time in a long time), this wine could seem presumptuous. Even though we're in 2016, you best cellar this baby for another 7-10 years, easy! If drinking now, do decant at least 2 hours prior to serving. Enjoy pairing with a prime rib roasted. Tasted July 2016. @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

Wines come and go, but Barolo lasts forever. This Barolo form Northern Italy is still quite tannic with ripe dark fruit, dried fig, leather and tobacco leaf on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews
