Interesting to see the number of comments today on the forum re: Barolo - especially the number that fall on the "dont get it" side of the fence.
I am also conflicted in that I know I *should* like it, and I *do* like the idea of it - but I've never had a truly great one apart from once...(it was a 1970).
I appreciate style of winemaking is totally different today from years ago, but what is the duffers guide to Barolo ? How long should I leave them? Is cheaper Barolo for younger drinking decent? etc etc etc etc.
And can I apply similar rules to Barbaresco?
Borh are regions that are drunk widely on the forum but I certainly feel I lack the indepth knowledge that collectively we all have for the classic French regions/
