The Monchiero Carbone 2019 Roero Srü has a lot of dark fruit and baked cherry with bread crust or toasted biscuit. The effect is dark and brooding with a spicy and concentrated quality of fruit. There are nutty tones as well with roasted chestnut to honey-glazed almond.

A pure expression of Nebbiolo, the Monchiero Carbone 2018 Roero Srü shows an offbeat personality, with dusty and nutty aromas that seem specific to this wine. I don't recognize them in any of its peers. You get toasted nut and dried peanut shell, sour cherry and exotic plum. I also detect some dried rose and earthy potting soil. It's a unique Nebbiolo of which about 10,000 bottles were produced.

The Monchiero Carbone 2017 Roero Srü is a mid-weight wine with touches of chalky earth and crushed granite. I love those earthy tones, and it's great that you get so many of them here. The fruit is downplayed with wild berries and some sweet rose. I am less enthusiastic about the tannins, which feel dry and astringent. Many wines from the hot and dry 2017 vintage (that produced smaller, more concentrated berries) show that distinctive tannic tightness. I'm on the fence, because I'd go up a few points for the beauty of the bouquet, but then I subtracted a few for the dryness of the mouthfeel.

A pure expression of Nebbiolo, the 2012 Roero Srü offers delicate lines and easy-drinking appeal. The bouquet reveals wild berries, cassis and dried cranberries. The wine is aged in barrique for 18 months with another 12 months in the bottle. Some 8,000 bottles were produced.

Impressive and modern in style, this has big, bold extraction. It is deep, plush and ripe with pretty notes of red fruit, spice and black licorice. It’s smooth and silky in texture. — (9/1/2012) —90
