  • 1995 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Vigneto Loreto - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco (8/27/2009)
    A decent amount of oak on the nose with some herbs,tobacco,and dried cherries.
    Mouth had some nice dried cherries,shrooms,herbs, but too much oak for me.
    Overall this seemed a little out of wack to my palate. I will say a buddy that drinks far
    more Neb than I really found it intriguing. (89 pts.)

SL - interesting that even after a decade in the bottle, the oak still is so strong…

I’d like to revisit this wine quite frankly. My buddy drinks a ton of Nebbiolo and he really dug this wine.

I recently opened a 95 Barbaresco that was singing. Makes me want to poke around in the cellar and see what else I have from that time frame.
