January 6, 2019 - Excellent Barolo, all of the notes of old leather, tobacco, etc. that the professional reviewers mention, but just plain great with a pasta and Bolognese sauce. Still has several years left. My last bottle, wish I had (several) more.

November 24, 2011 - Dark, inky, high toned nose (almost a touch of VA) with noticeable oak. Juicy and sexy, showing just a tad of development. A bit mixed on this.

September 11, 2010 - This is a good bottle. Complex truffle, earthiness and red fruit. Cedary as it opens counterbalanced by well judged acidity, palpable tannin and length. Best showing yet. Will be wonderful in another 5 years.
