Wines Round 2 Barolo Night

Barolo Night Oslo Round 2

The lineup for the first 6 wines is not bad. (hehe) Keep in mind we did these wines blind, 3 at a time, so the tasting notes reflect what was tasted at the time.

Barolo Night Oslo Lineup 6 wines

Aldo Conterno Ciacala 1999

Earth tones and toffee on the nose. Older, caramelized, earthy.

Aldo Conterno Ciacala 2012

Floral notes, leather, red berries. Lots of tannins, fruity in the mouth.

Palladino 2010

Strange. To me it did not taste like a wine from Piemonte.

This round the “winner” was definitely the 1999 Aldo Conterno. Everyone knows I like old Barolo, and this one was no exception.

Barolo Night Oslo

Remember the Barolo Night I had in Sweden? This weekend was Barolo Night 2.0 Oslo edition! Oh man did we drink some good wines. The layout of these Barolo Weekends are starting to form, and so on Friday we eat pizza and drink Pizza Wines. Check out these amazing Pizza Wines in the picture below.

Friday lineup

Represented in the first night were some amazing producers: Rinaldi, Alessandro Veglio, Vietti, Bartolo Mascarello and Azelia. And we hit all the typical Piemonte/Barolo categories: Dolcetto, Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo and Barolo.

Barolo Night Oslo 2

Saturday is the big wine tasting night, with blind tasting and tasting sheets. This time it was 9 wines and 4 people – maybe a tad much but we went with it. We do 3 and 3 wines at a time, taking time to smell and taste and discuss before we reveal. And once we are through all the wines, we just drink and enjoy.
