Not a whole lot of power but well resolved. Black fruits and bitter cherry (slightly) notes along with hints of anise and vinegarette. Enjoyed this one.

Drank with mushroom risotto. Very good combination. Deep garnet colour. It has that lovely smell of aged Nebbiolo. It smells like cherries, blueberries, forest floor, roses and herbs (thyme?). Before the food, the expected tannins from a Barolo. But still very nicely aged and balanced bite. Perfectly melting together with the food. Perfect timing. Drink now.

Fra nabobord Stadig frugt. Dog også mørk. Ikke den største vin🤷🏼‍♂️❤️

Okay for a 2009. Drunk with a 2010 of the same wine which was a lot better

Delicious. Medium body. Fine drinker.

Just a little bit flat with truffle tagliolini . Lightly of Burnt oranges . Not much life left? Worst / least good bottle so far. Hold last bottle of 6 as a test.

Very good but just missing something. In a sweet spot after a 2 hour decant at cellar temp. Light, long and we’ll balanced. Slight burnt orange.

Awesome Barolo Chinato. A clear Nebbiolo signature shines through the sweet and bitter herbal character. Gorgeous red cherry notes. I purchased three bottles about 10 years ago. I drank one, gave one away and saved this bottle. Wish I'd bought more! This definitely improved.

Luftet ca 7 timer, litt dypere mursteinsrød enn Barbarescoen men med den samme overraskende lett brunede kanten. Kjøttfulle søtelige moreller (men langt fra kokt), animalsk kjøtt lukt, skogsbunn lukten fra litt fuktig sopptur i midten av september, hvit pepper, rose, svak av krydderurter. Flott frukt i munnen men litt tynn munnfølelse. Svakt innslag av høy og stall med strukturerte tanniner som glir over i en svak sjarmerende bitterhet. Utgangen har en marginal røyktone med en varmende preg fra vinens 14%. …

Scoret av Merete Bø. Sammensatt duft av mandler, blomster, jordbær og morkler. Balansert, lang. Passer til lam og sopp.

Medium-light in body, with color suggesting age beyond its years. Savoury in nose and palate, with upfront spice fading to graphite and enjoyably lingering aftertaste. Suggest this is good to go now.

What a great surprise! First experience with this type of wine, but surely not the last! Excellent balance between sweetness and bitterness with plenty of aromatic intensity to give it great length. Fun.

A private lunch (Restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Pocantico Hills, NY, USA) : Wonderful spicy depth on the nose, very expressive, complex and deep, bitters and roses, medicinal, Alpine herbs; the palate is off-dry, with a delicious bitter-sweet sensation, a hint of cocoa, fresh and with the sober tannins from the base wine, transparent and precise; flowers and peaches on the lifted finish, very good length - a bit like a perfect Manhattan.

:-9. Smaking med Luca Roagna selv på gaffel og karaffel: Ok frukt, svak lukt rett etter servering, åpner opp, milde tanniner, lakris, portvin. 390 NOK

Avec le producteur, dans le cadre d'une dégustation organisée par son agent promotionnel au Québec : Vini-Vins; se tenant à la Fonderie Darling.

Dinner at Bar Boulud (Bar Boulud, NY) : wow - what a lot of stuff in this! Bitter almond, sweet cinnamon tea, cherry pits and cherries to the hilt. fantastic and excellent pairing with the Coupe de cerises at Bar Boulud, NY.
