Cascina Ballarin, Barolo, Tre Ciabot

Popped and poured. Inviting nose of chocolate and tar, tobacco. Ends dry and very correct. Still plenty of primary fruit here. Modern style, I guess, but twenty yeas in, this is singing, everything is in place. #Cellarinventory

- Garnet color with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish - Denne vinen har fatt navn etter "3 vinmarker" druen til denne er hentet fra. Tradisjonell vinifikasjon i tempraturstyrte staltanker. Typisk rubinrd farge med en tynn oransje kant ytterst mot glasset. Imponerende og rik duft av mrke br, tjre, anis og noen florale toner og mineraler. En medium kropp med en litt slank struktur. Fin syre med en silkeaktig tekstur. Fortsatt litt skarpe tanniner som sikkert vil …

Nicely matured, yet distinct flavors and fine tannins; good finish with a touch of toast and mocca; still good for a few more years.

A nice Barolo that pairs decently with food. A light ruby with decent clarity in the glass. This was opened and decanted in the glass for an hour. Soft nose of strawberry, red cherry and dusty earth. You can taste the age and it has held up rather well over 9 years. On the palate the dusty elements take center stage followed by red fruits and a rather short finish. Good for a few more years but the clock is …

Very nice Barolo. Drinks quite well now.

Characteristically pale colour, maturing at the edges; expressive and rich nose of roses, tar, red berries, minerals and a hint of aniseed; slender and transparent style, silky texture, a happy marriage of freshness and ripeness in the context of a classic Barolo, with firm but ripe tannins and no lack of ripe fruit; slightly drying finish with good to very good length. At restaurant Vuur, Baarn, NL.

Tasted @Loccanda Fontanazza, La Morra. Cherries and plum - medium+ tannic, very pleasant and full-bodiet yet soft and balanced. long, clean aftertaste.

Monthly Tasting Group LTB 2014-01; Nebbiolo (By FB) : What a great pity that this wine is not completely clean. The bouquet seemed to be ok at first, but on the palate there were some slightly corked impressions. My tasting note as far as I made it: Concentrated bouquet with sweet spices, mint, sweet spices, vanilla, chocolate and autumn impressions. On the palate the same impressions, but also corked impressions which also became stronger in the nose after the wine …

Very nice nose with spices, tar and lacque. Medium bodied with good fruit, nice acidity and sweet tannins. Very nice with roast.

Still young. Pale garnet, appealing nose of violets, roses, spice and ripe fruit. Medium-bodied on the palate, with a firm structure, long aftertaste. Already delicious but should enter its peak period in a couple of years from now.
