Nebbiolo on Snooth
Welcome Newton. Looks like you might need three different wines. The Squash ... de Montepulciano or nice Nebbiolo. With the pear cake I would look again toward Italy, recioto di Soave for example, though I can see many...
Nice for evening meal but could be characterized as "sleeping beauty" - had some signs of potentially good wine but overall was lucking vigour. I was expecting more from Barolo :( Nothing particular on nose and palate,...
Bought this because of the year (1999) and the fact my family is from Alba,Piedmount.....what an excellent surprise...can't wait to get more
Unfortunately the bottle had an oxidation problems (my opinion) although the cork seemed in good condition. Wine couldn't show all its character and silently died in the glass. Hate to encounter moments like this :(
Wonderful! With complex nose, palate was one of the most balanced again of the recently tasted barolos - ripe fruit in balance in mid-palate in balance with tar & minerals in the aftertaste. Very long length. Overall -...
Had the 2008 on 11/13/09 - fantastic for the price $14.14 incl tax @ Prospect Wines
Very overrated wine by wine spectator reviewer JS- have to wonder if he actually tasted the bottles availabel in the US. Very nice nose, medium to thin body, straightforward one deminsional finish. Better with food, not a...
nice but over priced.

Bruno Giacosa, barbaresco 2001
A light ruby red color with a slightly orange rim. Initially, bright cherry fruit on the nose with rose petal and a woodsy mushroom undertone. Very pure nose that sang Barbaresco and with time the nose darkened and allowed the trademark of tar to rise from this wine’s bouquet. On the palette, medium bodied with raspberry and cranberry fruit and notes of tobacco on the long finish that turned to menthol and cherry. There’s a lot of chewy tannin that will take time to fade away before this wine can realize its true potential but the fruit was prominent enough to show that it should last the test of time.. This bottle was opened to early and even with the four hours of air it received in decanter, it didn’t quite show it’s true colors. I’d say this bottle needs a good 5 - 10 years before it should be sampled again.

That's sounds amazing, Greg. I've had Mascerallo's Barbera and I keep on meaning to try the Barolo but have yet to have the chance. Looks like It's time to start seeking some out.
