March 14, 2024 - great fruit aroma at decant seemed to fade but after 3 hours in the decanter it started to become more interesting and was tasty with a small bit of food we were finishing ... needs more time or more time and should have looked at Venice Al's report before pulling this out

January 10, 2024 - Decanted 1 hour (should have been 3-6)
Medium ruby, and just the slightest fade at the rim. High Tannin, Medium plus acidity. Clearly still primary, and a big bold expression of Nebbiolo. Classic profile of roses, tar, anise, baking spice, slightly dusty earth, and cherry in a modern wrapper. Cherry coated chocolate palate that is tannic, but sweet. The high alcohol is noticeable, but if you like big Cabs, Grenache and Syrah, etc- this is of average alcohol, weight and intensity. Enjoyable for me - even if not my personal style. This is my first of a six-pack, and I would expect that it will age just fine, but not sure that it will ever become mellow. I will save at least one for 10-15 years to see what happens. It appears that Aldo got exactly what he was looking for in this wine- nice fruit, a nod to California, and a Nebbiolo that is accessible in the medium term. -

June 4, 2021 - Warm and very forward. This Barolo is one of the most underwhelming of the 2007s that I have tried.
