Traversa Starderi Barbaresco 2007

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Lincoln

From Mondo Imports. And I should add that this is not the right label; it is something I dragged off the net – it will have to do; Traversa doesn’t seem to have a high profile on the www. Anyway, … Continue reading →

Benevelli Piero Langhe Nebbiolo 2008

Posted on August 10, 2011 by Lincoln

I have had a few bottles of this wine so far, and it is lovely. Better than the 2009 I think (which is the current release), though it is always difficult to compare wines from different vintages at the same … Continue reading →

Ciabot Berton Barolo Roggeri 2004

Posted on August 17, 2010 by Lincoln

Two bottles consumed with identical notes. A lovely nose, dried meats and red fruits, cherries and strawberries, tarry and smoky more than floral. Full bodied palate, dried red fruits, red currants and a touch of cherries, some tar and old … Continue reading →

Benevelli Piero Langhe Nebbiolo 2008

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Lincoln

Not sure if this should be Benevelli Piero or Piero Benevelli (as it is on the label). Not sure if it matters either. Oh, 3 notes in 3 days… A lovely nose, initially quite savoury, with restrained tar and roses, … Continue reading →

Proprietà Sperino Lessona 2004

Posted on July 9, 2009 by Lincoln

Tony at the Wine Emporium is a great fan of Nebbiolo, so it is always his advice I seek when purchasing a bottle for a Saturday or Sunday night dinner. He said this wine was all about the tannins, and … Continue reading →

Jasper Hill Nebbiolo 2004

Posted on June 15, 2009 by Lincoln

Cherry red in colour. Liquorice all-sorts, rose petals, marzipan and glace cherries. Oddly, the palate showed none of the sweetness of the nose, with cedar and dried herbs, some fruits, perhaps dried cherries and nothing much else. Quite a disappointment, … Continue reading →

Vietti Barolo Castiglione 2005

Posted on May 27, 2009 by Lincoln

Hands up who likes Barolo! Well I do, particularly when it is as good as this. Now I believe Barolo is neither a party wine, nor wine to be taken to an offline. It is a wine to savoured, to … Continue reading →

Roberto Voerzio Langhe Nebbiolo 2004

Posted on November 25, 2008 by Lincoln

I consumed this last Saturday over a seven hour period. A medium red in colour. Initially, and unexpectedly, red jubey fruits overlaid with oak characters, that with time evolved into a more conventional perfumed tar and malt. Hmmm, sounds a … Continue reading →
