Great video. I appreciate your to the point presentation and video length. Definitely enough information to get the basics across without turning into a college lecture. Cheers!
Your videos are brief, informative with outstanding videophotography and graphics, and something about your cadence makes them easy to retain. Thank you.
I just opened a San Silvestro Patres Barolo 2018. Only 34.95 Canadian and Decanter World Wine Awards scored it a 91. Other "experts" scored it from an 88-90. I totally agree with Decanter. Its D for delicious with all the aromas you mentioned and very nice structure, balance, grippy/smooth tannins if that makes sense and mouth watering acidity. YUM YUM! This Barolo is on the lower price end but to me a bargain, once in a while that is.lol Cheers 🙂
Over the years I've also come to favour Nebbiolo wines above all others. Indeed, there are some very fine Nebbiolo wines outside of the Barolo and Barbaresco regions, for example Langhe and Ghemme among others which tend to be less expensive.
I came across just one video of your’s and was hooked! You pack a whole lot of concise and interesting information in a small package. I loved the initial misty scene and how you tied it to another important tidbit. One request, please share cheese and vegetarian pairings as well as there could be vegetarian vinos in the audience as well. Ciao!
Thank You for the lovely words! ✨🍾 Foggy mornings are the romance of the Barolo. 🌬️ Will keep that in mind, about the vegetarian pairings in my future videos! Cheers! 🥂🍾✨
P.S. I tried to respond to your other comment in the Super Tuscan video, but I am not sure why it disappeared. Just wanted to ask if You have tried the second wines of iconic Super Tuscans You mentioned? I mean Le Volte from Ornellaia is very affordable. Or the La Serre Nuove?
Great post, as always. I really love Barolo, but get my hands on it less than I’d like due to price, and because mine still need years to open up. Finally got to Barolo in May of 2022, and was able to enjoy many excellent, aged examples, and also fell in love with the region.
Thank You Andrew, Did You get to experience some of the fog in Barolo? Or is it not as common in spring? I am happy You enjoyed it and got Your hands on some older vintages! 💪
It is so interesting, because I would say that it is not a wine for beginners. (What I mean, is that not even wine professionals often appreciate the high levels of tannin and acidity). You have a unique taste profile. And I am happy that in a vast wine world - Barolo is the one You enjoy. The only issue is that - it is quite expensive wine. Cheers! 🥂🍾✨
Barolo king of wine, is pure marketing. Unapproachable wines unless you pay a fortune, and waited 500 years, plus it all depends on your personal taste. I pass. For nebiollo, a Barbaresco is cheaper and generally ready to drink. My opinion.
