November 4, 2022 - First bottle of a 6-bottle case and ultimately a bit disappointing. This will be good but just way too young on this showing. Paired with rib-eye steak and we also opened a 2007 Barolo from another (less heralded) estate which was in a much better more developed place. Probably an unfair comparison! Will leave the other bottles a good while before trying again. Did get better on day 2 after a good few hours in the decanter!

The 2013 (a classic vintage for Barolo) is completely shut down at the moment I assume.
I’d suggest to keep further bottles at least until 2025 and give them air when you open them.
My 2 cents… cheers! Edgar -
