I don't agree - and I know about paletes and stuff... The Altare is a modern barolo, but not at all shiraz-like. I'va had the Altare several times before, and what I can say for sure is that it is extremely floral, very perfumy, and actually a little like nice Chambolle-Musigny. The Prunotto is a very good barolo, and much more of a value - however, it has nowhere near the intensity of the altare, and for me, borders more an a new world edge than the Altare. Have you - Gary, tasted the altare before? Oh, and by the way - I am so much closer to italy, and yet the Wine Library price on the altare is so low! Nice job! (not for me though!)

And you nailed it: "tough guy with the upturned collar", wahaaaaa! I adore the Prunotto's. They're not completely classic Barolo anymore, but they bring such autumnal profoundness with the ample juiciness. Yet, I had a Barb d'Asti few weeks ago, and that was one hell of a disappointment. Structureless, unbalanced, dull, ... how on earth ... ? Anyway, QOTD: did or do I know who? What's that master stuff anyway? :-D Super great ep, Gary. And you nailed it: “tough guy with the upturned collar”, wahaaaaa!

My favorito...well, maybe it's a tie with PN. Anyway, hmmm, my guess on the Masters. I'm guessing Zach Johnson, but it's just a guess. Barolos kick ACE! My favorito…well, maybe it’s a tie with PN.

"WSE"? "CMFW"? LOL. Outstanding! Gary, hold that vine! Sine Qua Non = ABSURD Fruit Bomb?!!? OK, "tough guy w/ the upturned collar" (lol) you lost me there...definitely different strokes, different folks/palates. Although, I concur w/ the "over Niagra Falls except it's not water it's purple paint" description. LOL. His Syrah's are very inky and viscous no doubt. Accordingly, "old world/new world" preference makes no difference, those who view Bryant and Harlan as "gargabe"(??!!??) wine....IMHO, need to re calibrate their palates. WOW. Moving on: Couldn't agree more on Prunotto...consistently good juice year in-year out.

Only one negative comment - the Prunotto isnt pronounced Prunatto. Its Prun (like prune)oh-toe. With that being said I suck at pronouncing French wines, especially Brugundies. Maybe we can touch upon that in future episodes? Nice episode, only seen a handful so far. Only one negative comment – the Prunotto isnt pronounced Prunatto. Its Prun (like prune)oh-toe.
