Tenimenti Ca' Bianca 1995 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
-
$35
This is a well-endowed Barolo with a powerful, intense nose of creamy vanillin oak, smoked meats and cassis. Rich black cherry, cedar, pepper and herbs all mingle in the mouth, which displays a full, very suave feel. Long, layered finish with licorice notes. Appealing already, but best after 3 to 5 more years.

Tenimenti Ca' Bianca 2004 Chersì Barbera (Barbera d'Asti Superiore)
-
$26
A big, ripe wine with a nice personality, there is plenty to like about this wine, and is easygoing enough and versatile enough to be a perfect candidate for a restaurant wine. The nose shows chocolate raspberry truffles, and a touch of oak. On the palate, the same attractive notes and a decent finish. An obvious but very attractive wine.
