    Great video on a wine I would love to have the funds to enjoy more of!
    I fully agree with you on the comparison of Pinot Noir to Nebbiolo. Other than the complexity shown by both grapes when well made and matured, there is NO comparison. However, a grape that does compare is Freisa (believed to be one of Nebbiolo's parents). It it is slightly more rustic and unruly, but well aged from a good producer, it takes on some of Nebbiolo's wonderful qualities, with some of its own personality!
    Regarding the Cru Vineyard vs Blended debate, I have some of the 2014 (not a bad vintage, but not great either) Elio Grasso Barolo. This is a blend of their two cru vineyards which they felt where better blended than the sum of their individual parts. I haven't tried it yet, but looking forward to seeing if they where right to blend the two cru's together...........

      Thank you for the good word on the video. It's one of my early channel post. The PN/Nebbiolo comparison is one I've never understood. The structure of the two are completely different with latter showing more acidity and tannin. As for the Barolo Cru vs blend, in more marginal years, I'll always go with the blended vineyard option. FYI, I'll be posting an old Barbaresco video in late May.

That said, here are a few modernist Barolo to search out includes, Renato Ratti, Elio Altare, Pio Cesare or Luciano Sandrone. A few traditional Barolo include, Bartolo Mascarello, Giuseppe Rinaldi, Bruno Giacosa or Luigi Oddero. These will take a bit of searching out, but they all have decent distribution.

    I've been testing wines from the South like montepulciano d'abruzzo and Aglianico. I purchased random wines, 25 each of Aglianico and montepulciano. I was blown away by the quality, complexity, of these wines from young to old. I find Aglianico to be more consistent and better wines. I compared these wines with cabernet from Europe, of course, and actually enjoyed these wines more than many well-known Tuscan and Bordeaux wines. What amazes me if the lack of interest in these wines. Must be me

    • @bobpaulinskimasterofwine
      @bobpaulinskimasterofwine  Рік тому +1

      They will soften, but many will have elevated alcohol levels. Some are overripe, a problem with Nebbiolo. I wouldn’t dump it, but giving them a good aeration before drinking will help. I don’t suggest keeping the ‘15 for many years.

    What a gem of a channel I've stumbled upon. Cutting right to the core facts, going over all major aspects... Definitely gonna stay!
    One question popping in my mind: despite the differences in specific winemaking techniques (which always revolve around the grape variety and the terroir), how does the 'Barolo Boys' revolution compare to the modernist take on Rioja? I'm under the impression that there's a common element in that there was an attempt to break up with the traditional principles by designing the new style almost specifically to obtain wines with opposite characteristics to their predecessors' (at least in Rioja, maybe not so much in Barolo). Is there a parallel there or am I just overthinking it?

    • @bobpaulinskimasterofwine
      @bobpaulinskimasterofwine  3 місяці тому +2

      That’s exciting! ‘74 is a good vintage for Barolo. It’s a vintage that is now past its prime, but if it was stored well, it should still be a treat. I suggest standing the bottle upright for a day to allow the sediment to work its way into the base of the bottle. The color will be pale red with some amber tones at the edge of the glass. One indicator on the condition of the wine is the bottle fill level. When the bottle is upright, the space between the high point of the wine level and base of the cork shouldn’t be more than about a half inch. If the gap is larger, it’s not a great sign.
