An appealing bouquet of stable, earth and underbrush lure you to believe there’s not much fruit here. Once the wine is in your mouth you see that this is not true. The flavors are bursting with juicy blackberries drizzled with tar, then the wine finishes full and silky.

Damilano 2005 Liste Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $85
The Liste cru has held up well to the warm 2005 vintage and exhibits rich notes of espresso, chocolate fudge, oak spice and vanilla. It’s almost too much of a good thing now but will undoubtedly soften with time. The tannins are sharply etched and completely dry out the mouth. Drink 2020 to 2030.
