  Scavino Bric del Fiasc 2001

  Snoothrank:

  Spicy and very jammy on the nose with aromas of sweet blackberries, blueberries and wood spice supported by a touch of VA. Super smooth in the mouth and packed with slightly chewy jammy blackberry fruit and sweet vanilla flavors. This is a bit too sweet and feels shiny and flat in the mouth without enough acid but it is fruity. 83pts Read More

  Cascina Ballarin Tre Ciabot 2001

  Snoothrank:

  From vineyards in La Morra roughly across the street from Scavino, and in Monforte. Floral and spicy on the nose and a bit high toned with a touch of wood accenting licorice, medicinal, dark and fudgy red fruits on the nose gaining a bit of a chemical note with air. Smooth, fruity and pretty extracted, this is a bit tough and muscular in the mou... Read More

  Guido Porro Nebbiolo Langhe 2012

  Snoothrank:

  28 day fermentation, six months in botte Classic aromas greet the nose, prune in alcohol, slightly herbal, gently medicinal with a touch of beef and chocolate rounding out the aromas. Easy and open in style, this offers up lots of ripe fruit, lots of acid, and lots of tannin for Langhe Nebbiolo. A baby Barolo in the making with deep rose petal a... Read More

  Paolo Scavino Barbera d'Alba 2012

  Snoothrank:

  This is very pretty on the nose, floral and herbal with a touch of ink and bright black plum skin and wild berry fruit wrapped up with a hint of chocolate. On entry though this is a bit soft with a touch of a pasty feel that clears up on a midpalate showing clear, glassy black fruit. Rather simple and fresh with floral and red fruit flavors this...

  Azelia Barolo DOCG 2004

  Snoothrank:

  Love the dark purple color. Very big nose--some cigar or leather, some cherry/berry fruit. Surprisingly light on the tip of the tongue. No fruit detected there at all--almost watery. As the wine moves over the tongue some cherry/berry pops up, but not much. Lot's of tannin, now. As a previous reviewer comments, air time helps this wine. T... Read More
