A bargain for a Barolo
07/24/2007

I thought Bordeaux's review was a bit harsh. Good Barolo's are pretty expensive and at $20, I thought this was reasonably priced for a 2001 vintage. I decanted for an hour or so before I drank it and was pretty pleased. Very drinkable. Perhaps not as big a wine as I was expecting, but a very pleasant bottle. You'll find better bottles of Barolo, but probably not in this price range.

This was the 2005, and I imagine one must have food with this wine. I drank by itself and I felt overwhelming earthy tones. This is my first Barolo and I don't know if the alcohol should cloud the taste so much like I felt this wine do. I did not feel anything special about this wine and I probably would not buy again.
The 2003 is very good

Even at this price for a Barolo I would not recommend. Harsh tasting, poor color ... all the decanting in the world will not improve it.

This Barolo is so light bodied and quite harsh, it had almost a Reddish-Brown color and does smell like Tar(in a negative sense). This piece of crap is such a One-dimensional boring wine. At this price($19.99) there are so many good wines and I would recommend any one thinkin to buy this wine to stay away from this Barolo....
terrible
