September 11, 2020 - Popped & poured for our Xtremo virtual tasting. Substantial browning evident here. Nose was a bit funky at first, but faded with some time. Light to medium body wine. Dried sour cherries here, tannins fully resolved. Somewhat short finish. Pleasant enough barolo but waited to long to open.

April 14, 2017 - Drank at Pieros after finishing off a 1997 Tiezzi BdM, which was preferred. This wine was lighter than expected. Red cherries, dried tannins, some earthy dustiness, and slightly bitter on the finish. A pleasant enough barolo but a bit too much on the light side for my taste. Still good fruit level, tannins mostly resolved. Some tar too. Finish was medium length

January 5, 2017 - quality & mature wines tasting event (my home): medium light transparent brown
excellent old dried ripe cherries nose, deep truffles & earthy notes and acetone hints
slightly oxidised, medium bodied, soft integrated tannins, ripe dry old cherries flavours, soft structured, medium complexity, well balanced and harmonised, medium finish & aftertaste.
requires 2 hours of decanting.
seems at peak (or even at bit behind ?) - drink now. -
