🍾We all know that vintage matters, especially if we are planning to keep the wine in our cellars. In this video I will blind taste four different vintages of a single vineyard Barolo wine to see the different characteristics of each vintage reflect in the wine and its ability to withstand the test of time. And let's find out if I can guess the vintages and spot the better ones and worse ones?

Sweet! Your expression adds a lot. "Oos & Ahs, wows, & hmms" are the most important part of tasting, enjoyment. Eye and hand movements too. Easy to hear and understand tool. plus -- You are looking for the best aspects of wine,the expression and evolutionover time, as you taste and as it ages. Great wines can start great and get incredible over a whole evening. Your vintage show really works well. Viva la difference! More vintages to taste make a the weather and land talk, so great wines that can age teach the bigger picture and value from all great wine. More please! Yay wine! Thank you so much, because Barolo and age are the thing!

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

Great to hear that You enjoy that part, but actually a lot of that was cut out and/or sped up. Me enjoying wine or talking about it can sometimes take too much time! 🤫 Cheers and thank You! 🙏🏻

This tasting took some serious guts! It’s so tough to taste between vintages in a region like Barolo which is full of talented producers who know their vineyards and how to adjust production. That and addition to the high level of tannins and acidity. I found some beautiful wines from producers in Europe during the poor 2014 vintage as some declassify fruit from top vintages and make less wine but better (which you cover later in the video) Side note, of recent vintages in Barolo… 2016 always stands out for me. The wines are so spectacular already! Let’s see how they come along.

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

I actually did have 2016 vintage and yet I didn’t include it in the tasting. I wanted to have very distinctive differences between the vintages, and even then it proved to be way too difficult. 😩

@remifjelldal7299 11 месяцев назад

@@NoSediment Going all out is no shame, would be cool if you also added the beautiful 2016. But even without it a great video again! All in all i think you did fantastic, mixing up 17 and 18 is no biggie, that you had the guts like Matt says to make the video is a bigger deal, love these new blind tasting videos and your short concise summaries of each wine. Super good! looking forward to more tastings in the future.

"Animalistic", I do not believe that I have ever heard a wine described in that term before, the wines sounded wonderful.

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

Is there really word like that? I have used for many years, but when I re-listened this video I started to wonder. What I mean was animal like. 🍷😳

@solomonmengeu1003 10 месяцев назад

Another interesting & intriguing video, yes vintage does make a big difference in the "classic regions". I was guessing along with you and got the 2010 and 2014 correct. The other two I wasn't sure, as I don't drink that much Barolo. What I was basing my guesses on were the differences in degrees of primary, secondary and tertiary notes. Formerly the "rule" was don't open a Barolo before 10 years after the vintage, but that doesn't seem to apply anymore. I generally try to wait as long as possible when opening high quality wines, e.g. Amarone, Barolo, Tokaji Aszu, Brunello, Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, Rioja Gran Reserva, etc. (Sorry for the rambling. 🙂) With me aging, I find that I enjoy tertiary and well integrated wines more than ones primarily based on fruit, tannins and acid.

@NoSediment 10 месяцев назад

Thank You for the comment. 🙏🏻 You always have really great insight to add. But for once I will have to disagree with You. 😅 My personal opinion is that we put too much emphasis on wine’s ageing. There is no rule that wine should be opened as late as possible, in fact many wines loose their fruit. For example, Amarone is always drinking nicely when young, because of its winemaking technique. I don’t know where did the notion came that it should be aged, as it tends to have quite high VA levels already at the bottling, and it will only increase. We all should follow less rules and more trust our own feelings. This is why I am talking about topics that other people find controversial. 😅

@solomonmengeu1003 10 месяцев назад

@NoSediment I was expressing my opinion not trying to reiterate old sad tired notions or " rules." I don't know who said, but I totally agree, "The only rule now with drinking and pairing wine is that there are no rules". 😀. So I completely agree with you that we should follow and trust our own palate. Not what we learned or where taught 5 or 10 years ago. Wine should be about fun, pleasure, and enjoyment . And yes, all of these wines can be enjoyed at each stage of their development.

Great video for me. I visited the Rivetto wineyard and have been enjoying Nebbiolo. The cellar people recommended 2016. 2010 sounds exciting. Thanks.

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

Great! 2016 is a great vintage from the recent ones. And Rivetto has absolutely beautiful vineyards. ✨

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

I guess so, but it was very difficult blind tasting. 😩

@rafaelantoniolopez5751 11 месяцев назад

Oh no..I got the same vintages as you did. Using your descriptions only. 18-14-10-17. Close enough though, older vintages 2-3 and recent vintages 1-4. Not bad

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

Great, at least I am not the only one. 🥲

@QualeQualeson 11 месяцев назад

I stumbled upon a vintages charts service where you can look up countries, regions and sub-regions/styles and check the years. My wines were not bought considering the specifics of the years, so I expected them to be from poor vintages because I thought maybe the market picked clean all the best ones. Turns out that wasn't the fact and I was delighted to find that I have some lucky high scoring vintages. But I'm guessing this is because my wines are not expensive. I bet that in the top market layers it's a different story.

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

Good for You! I think it depends on the wine style and region as well. Burgundy is always much harder to source, for example. 😢

@juanmanuelmunozhernandez7032 11 месяцев назад

Okay! I was making mental notes and making my own guesses and I also mixed up 17-18 (got the 2014 and had no idea about the 2010). It's relieving to make similar reasonings as the experts, even if we're all headed into the same mistake! Learning is actually more fun than success, tbh Thanks for the cheerful tasting!

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

Thank You and Thanks for commenting! Yes, learning has always proven to be very fun! 😉🤞🤫

@danielschmoldt7204 11 месяцев назад

Hard to tease out differences between two, recent warm vintage wines, i.e., 2017-2018. So, good job, and instructive video.

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

It was really hard. Actually all of that tasting was really hard for me. 🤫

@VektrumSimulacrum 11 месяцев назад

You know what would be nice, now that you mentioned it. It would be nice if wine producers started publishing easy to locate notes about the weather conditions for each vintage. On a side note...Agnese...HALP! My dad came home with 25+ bottles of not-age worthy wine. (also probably not store in the best way) Tips and tricks to use up wine (that's not bad but not good) in other ways other than drinking it? 😅👀

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

Thank You for the comment. 🙏🏻 I think some winemakers do that and You can find the vintage differences on their web page. However, most will be outdated. :( As for the wine, I use all the wine that I don’t finish in cooking. Sauces, stocks and risotto, wine is always a nice addition and adds flavour depth. Some of my friends once experimented with making vinegar, that is something that also could work. 🤞

@Hikneow 11 месяцев назад

Can you even compare them if you Drink them in the same year? Shouldnt you drink them at the same age?

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

That is literally impossible. :))) we cannot have different vintages and taste them at the same time and therefore compare. If I would want to do the tasting as You mentioned, then it should be comparison done over several decades. 😉

@NoSediment 11 месяцев назад

How much wine is it ok to drink?

@NoSediment 8 месяцев назад

I will say this: the less the better. Wine is an alcohol after all, with all the consequences it brings. Therefore it is best to not abuse it and enjoy in moderation. I will have a one glass of a better, higher quality wine than two or three of mediocre wine. 😅

@robinazzo 8 месяцев назад

@@NoSediment of course but would you say that a 1-2 glasses with dinner is ok on the everyday basis or just a couple of times per week?
