Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The pre-eminent wine of Italy, and possibly of all red wine, Nebbiolo has distinguished itself as one of Barboursville's leading varietals since their first vintage, 1998. This style is inspired by Barbaresco in cultivation and aging, and the wine unfolds in bottle at the stately pace for which it is so greatly appreciated by connoisseurs, for the most savory pairings of meats and game.

Elegant and complex, aromatically enthralling depth of violets, forest loam, dark berry and tobacco notes. Full body, a firm, dense structure followed by a seamless, sustained finish.

Professional Ratings

    This offers nuanced aromas of black cherry, red plum, rosewater, crisp red-delicious apple, burnt orange and Christmas spices. These aromas unfold onto the palate where the spices really sing. While this wine is in balance, boasting bright and zippy acidity and ample weight, the woody and spiced tannins stand out and steal the show.

    The nose of dried flowers and orange peel make this a very striking wine, and in spite of the big, dry tannins there's a surprising elegance on the palate. The finish is long, sleek and very fresh.

    The 2014 Nebbiolo Reserve was aged for 12 months in French oak (40% new, the rest second-use). Sourced from two vineyards planted in 1995 and 2001, this is typically my personal favorite in the lineup. So, too, this year. You could identify this blind just by cheating and looking at the color—washed out, a bit faded, reminding me of many old fashioned Nebbiolos in years gone by. Then, it gives you that crisp punch and some power on the finish. Compared to the Octagon or the other reds this issue, this is tight and intense, needing more time. The fruit and depth are not quite as good as the structure, but I've learned that this bottling tends to grow in the cellar with time. It certainly has the freshness and backbone to age reasonably well, even if it is a bit too reticent just now. Buy this and put it away for a couple of years for better results. It has an excellent chance of improving in the cellar. This will not be released until June 2017.
