Kjellerfunn :-) fra Phillipson. PnP glass test. Først Riedel NWPN: Lukt Svært moden, litt skarp, tobakk, julekrydder, litt heimevin. Z burgund: moden krydret lukt, med litt kunstige noter. Overraskende frisk smak med nyper og appelsinskall. Litt kort og fast avslutning med litt kokt frukt. Glass betraktning: Riedel framhever modning aroma. Rikere smak, mindre detaljer. Zalto: Raffinert og spennende. 1 dag: Kanskje best i dag spesielt i Zalto. Mulig svak flaske. Burde drukket denne tidligere. 2 dager: Riedel NWPN. Tydelig modning …

Remarkable 24 years on…leather and stewed fruit, with just the beginning of savory meat

2001 vintage

A really compelling and resolved wine. Black fruit, leather, fennel, dried flowers, intense minerals... So layered and multi-faceted. Supple, velvety tannins. Absolutely mesmerizing. Great now, but would easily go another decade or two. It wouldn't necessarily get better. Just different.

2001 vintage

Great wine. Super complex and balanced. Great acidity and silky tannins. Licorice, iron, strawberry, raspberries, forest floor, pencil shavings, molasses and spices

2001 vintage

don't believe the drinking window on this wine. this wine tasted young last night. tannins are hiding the fruit component but after 3 hours of sips it came open. classic barbaresco with a bit of varietal edge. great typicity albeit a little on the unpolished side and rowdy. decant to enjoy. excellent provenance on this bottle.

2001 vintage

PnP Z burgund. Deilig nese, med god modning, medisinskap, mandel/eplefrø, jordbær. Relativt rik smak tørka kirsebær, blod, elegante jorbærnoter. Super til ragu og pasta. Kaffe og tobakk. Fortsatt solide tanniner og fin syre. Litt vanilje. Flott opplevelse

2001 vintage

Way past the fruit stage, lovely tar and roses, still some tannin, juicy acidity - good!

2001 vintage

Dinner at Tortello (Chicago, IL) : My favourite nebbiolo of the night -- this is just hitting its stride, with clean red fruit, and plenty of youthful nebbiolo structure. Still feels like there's upside here, but for drinking now I really like the overall balance. In contrast to the 1988 Rabaja, this started to clamp down over the course of the evening, to the point you were getting a lot of tannic intensity on the finish.

2001 vintage

Drank from Magnum at L'Antica De Michelle in Los Angeles. Nice leather library potpourri on the nose. Tannins nicely resolved, but still some interesting minty funk. Some ashy, black cherry & floral notes coming through. Very fun to try.

2001 vintage

Perfect cork with no travel. I can confirm the other recent notes that this was a tannic beast for many years, and that is indeed finally coming around. Still structured but softening and approachable, with a lovely gentle dried floral and sous-bois character emerging. I do prefer the refinements that show in more recent wines made by this cooperative, but this is a charmingly rustic wine that sings with the right food alongside.

2001 vintage

Besøk av broderen. PnP forsiktig moden lukt, litt stikkende. Lite smak. Etter litt tid i glasset. Mer lukt veksler mellom overmoden og svisker med roser og tjære. Smak av TE, tørket frukt, røde oliven, vaskepulver fast og frisk. aceton, tørket jordbær, pipetobak. 1 dag i flaske: rikere i dag moden og fyldig frukt. Opp 1 poeng. Trenger luft. Bør dekanteres neste gang.

2001 vintage

Wonderful wine. Perfectly mature, fine silky tannins, ripe red fruit and nice acidity. Terrific wine. Had it next to the 2001 Ceretto Asili.

2001 vintage

this has always been a dark fruited tannic beast, but was surprised how the tannins have softened, and the fruit still ample. There still is structure here. This was finally drinking great IMO. I really enjoyed this. I still have 3 bottles from my original purchase.

2001 vintage

Over the top-still good.Drink!

2001 vintage

Blind. Dark fruits, structured with noticeable tannic finish, still a somewhat detailed and lovely wine. Amazing for an entry level version.

2001 vintage

Tannin has been tamed by Father Time. Fruit remains. Ditto previous notes. Will hold and perhaps improve.

2001 vintage

Nebbiolo and White Truffles (Matt's, Portland OR) : This was from magnum. There is a seamless and fresh quality to the red-fruited tones of strawberries, red cherries, fresh picked berries, crushed rocks, potpourri, leather notes, sweet tobacco, and earth notes. The Medium/full bodied feel is well balanced and silky with crisp, high acidity and silky, high tannins. The magnum is making a noticeable difference here. This is showing a lot more fresh and vibrant while the structure has peeled back …

2001 vintage

Surprisingly, this bottle had turned itself into «sherry». Has been stored In a dark and cold cellar. My second / third experience of oxidation for Prod Barbaresco.

2001 vintage

Fairly well integrated, but still a bit of acid and tannin. Bright red fruit, hints of raisin on the finish. Almost orange in color.

2001 vintage

From a Barbaresco tasting with Giacosa Barbaresco Falletto 1998, Gaja Barbaresco 2010, and the following wines from Produttori di Barbaresco: Montefico 2008, Montestefano 2009, Pora 2008, Paje 2008. Clear brown with a fine red core. Tobacco, nuts, some roses, and fine tones of cherry verging on dried cherries. Medium to full bodied attack, then the tannins kick in on the midpalate almost numbing the senses. When the dryness fades out a citrusy freshness emerges together with lots of dried fruit …

2001 vintage

Very nice. Soft, sweet cherries, lots of herbs and mint. Body is on the lighter side of medium, still has tannins that coat your teeth on the way out with a long finish of mint.

2001 vintage

Amazing how well these delvelop. Still good grip with noticable tannins. Nose fresh with mature dark red fruit /berries and slight touch of tobacco. Quite a decent amount of sediment so treat with care when serving. If anything at peak, but think will remain here for a while.

2001 vintage

Slightly oxidised, distinct notes of sherry on nose and end. These vanished overnight. Otherwise incredibly smooth, with a good body and nice fruit and tobacco, coffee, especially the next day. This bottle is definitely on the down, glad we caught it before it tipped over.

2001 vintage

Very lovely barb. Rusty red, good nose of cherry, roses, some Smokey tar. It is still fresh and correct, lots of ripe and mature fruit, well rounded acidity attacks the palate before it widens out in a nice spectrum of tart, red berries, raspberry and some currant. Quite long. Excellent wine in its prime drinking window.

2001 vintage

Decanted for 3 hours. Opaque bricky ruby. Nose of plum blossom, full rose petal, somewhat searing tar, soy, camphor, saline. Palate revealed layers of delicious plum fruit, tarry earth, sweet grip, and resinous texture. Fresh acidity and serious but filed off tannin. Long finish of earthy red plum, tar, deep soil, and exquisite grip. Quite excellent now, could age for years.

2001 vintage

Watching Sunday Night Football (Eagles vs Cowboys) with Walter. Pnp Medium red in color. Bouquet of violets and some kirsch. Certainly cherries on the palate, but I also get some pomegranate. Initially a bit chalky, but this blew off over time as the wine put on weight. A bit of tannin still remains. Seems youthful and will likely remain good for years to come. Nice foil for my rigatoni Bolognese. Never very inexpensive, but I love Produttori for its QPR.

2001 vintage

No formal notes. Still quite young so no hurry but already delicious.

2001 vintage

Lite lukt rett etter åpning litt aceton og kirsebær. Lett smak, litt vanndig, kirsebær, lakris og tobakk. God syre og faste tanniner

2001 vintage

open for business, earthy, liquorice, still fairly tannic, medium acidity, sour cherry on the palate, long finish

2001 vintage

Dessverre litt for mye fjøs på denne. Ikke optimal flaske.

2001 vintage

Roser, kirsebær, lakk, moreller, litt kaffe. Snerper fortsatt litt, men er nokså avrundet. Lang og fyldig.

2001 vintage

Singing. Soft sweet cherries, dusty roses, lovely mouthfeel. Evident but sweet tannin. Excellent.

2001 vintage

earthy, mushroom, red berry. cranberry and cherry in mid. still rather young. bright acidity. with more time in the glass - bigger brighter red fruit, strong structure, hint of plum all the way at the back. long finish. 5+ years? lovely already even if structure is strong.

2001 vintage

Tasted alongside Produttori's Rabaja Riserva 2000. Lively nose with red fruits and spice. Medium bodied, silkier and with more red fruits, structurally more forbidding with firm blocky tannins, dense and unyielding. Acid. End note of tar, briar. Juicy. With 24 hrs: more dark fruits, some mint notes emerge. Approach next bottle in 5 years?

2001 vintage

To me, this is in a perfect spot now for drinking with food, like the bolognese we matched it with. Pressed violets, plum skin, incense, faint tar, classic.

2001 vintage

Battle of Barbaresco, cooperative Produttori against Gaja, the king of Barbaresco. Vintages 85, 90 and 01 tasted against each other. Soft and smooth wine, still alive. Wet cherries, licorice, calm fruit, brown rib, fades slowly in the glass after 20 minutes. Storage questionable.

2001 vintage

Fullstendig åpen ved åpning, så dekanterte kun for (mye) bunnfall. Fin rødfrukt med klar modning, noe sopp og våt skogbunn. Finkornede avslepne tanninger. Absolutt flott vin, og etter min mening i et fint drikkevindu nå. Absolutt flott match mot kalveentrecote. 93

2001 vintage

Broderen kommer innom, smakt sammen med 2004. Lett og elegant. Til ost og brød: fyldigere nå, fantastisk til pecorino. To dager i kjøleskapet: litt bunnfall i glasset. Deilig flott frukt, kirsebær, nydelig flyktig rose aroma sammen med mat.

2001 vintage

Needed decanting. The wine is probably not over the hill, and had kept both fruit and acidity.

2001 vintage

From 750: Complex nose of tar, alcohol, underbrush, and perhaps rose petal. Palate shows considerable fruit, although tannin still dominates. Better with food (although in fairness it had now been open for more than an hour).Good acidity and a nice finish. I expect that a few more years in the bottle will pay off in spades. Certainly no hurry to drink up.

2001 vintage

Klokkeren nese med nydelige roser, te, gammelt trevirke med en dash kirsebær. Flott intensitet - meget bra! Nydelig modning i frukten nå, og de harde kantene er polert vekk. Saftig frukt - smooth og deilig. Ingenting å si på konsentrasjonen og en balanserende friskhet. Fast og fin i utgangen med fine, men bestemte tanniner som fortsatt tørker munnhulen godt. Lang ettersmak. Drikker meget bra nå. Dette er den beste flasken av kassen jeg kjøpte. 92p+

2001 vintage

Well it was the 3rd bottle of the night but this wine came off the cork swinging and pleasing Feral, sauvage and truffly aromas with a pretty young complexion. I found the wine to be in a perfect place with loads of fruit, correct tannins and length. My friend suggested that the wine needed more time but we both agreed that we'd rather pull the cork earlier than too late. We've all held those few bottles for a bit too …

2001 vintage

Beautiful now with a 3 hour decant

2001 vintage

Beautifully mature nebbiolo. Colour deep red, not browning at all. Trademark slight varnish on nose. Soft fine tannins with lovely fruit intensity. Super wine.

2001 vintage

Siste påske-kveld og vi har 1/4 kg parmesan til overs. Svak lukt rett etter åpning, men lovende tyttebær frukt på smak. 1 dag i åpen flaske: Helt fin i dag også, men best i går.

2001 vintage

4/5 - Dark ruby/almost brown colour, cloudy with small sediment. Unfortunately this is probably over the hill, this was very smooth with little tannin or acidity, the fruit was somewhat sweet, plum, prune, some sweet sherry / almond notes. Shouldnt have waited 6 years since the last bottle.

2001 vintage

Garnet and showing tar and tobacco with some kirsch on the palate. In a really good place with some grape tannin still giving grip. Should improve some and show well for several more years, but is starting to come into it's own now with a few hours of air. PdB is the best PQR in Barbaresco in my experience.

2001 vintage

Quite a bit more tannic than I remembered my last bottle being, but still an excellent wine, if a little less mature and refined than previous bottles.

2001 vintage

This was drinking beautifully, with great expression of soil, and the usual rose, tobacco, autumn scents. Great volume.

2001 vintage

A couple Italians, a Bedrock and one from Canada (An upscale Italian Restaurant in Cleveland) : Most people preferred this to the Guado al Tasso. I thought it close. Ruby in color. This has aged nicely. Probably at peak, but this bottle was certainly not past. Aromas of cherries with some plums and some eucalyptus. Medium bodied. Layered complexity to a degree. On the palate, lots of cherry fruit left, light tannins, slight herbal notes. Great balance. Long finish. This …
