  February 24, 2024 - A very delightful Barolo. Surprisingly youthful. Warm balsamic tones dominate with a bit of damp earth. Complex on the nose and palate. A great rich fruit core. In a nice drinking window with no rush. Drank with Peposo over Polenta.
  
  From the TN assistant:
  The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like mushroom, forest floor and fig. It tastes like dark fruit, fig, and violet. The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

  January 21, 2021 - Wonderful notes of porcini mushrooms, tobacco, worn leather and dried cherries. Light on its feet, but a wonderful finesse in the palate and nose. This wine is in a perfect drinking window. I wish I had learned about Barolo a few years ago. Good juice.

  December 27, 2019 - Wonderful dark cherry notes with tiled soil and leather. Good depth and texture. This wine has greatly improved since my last tasting.

  June 7, 2019 - On opening: big classic nose of roses, tar, cherry, earth. High intensity palate of more red fruit, earthiness, peppery finish. Good acid and tannins showing. Will be good with food in a couple of hours. Very long finish. Wow, this is good. If I had more bottles (sadly not) I would think they would have many good years ahead.

  March 9, 2019 - Three hour decant, the nose is savory, with herbal elements along with a light cherry aspect. The palate is very acidic but not in an overwhelming way, the tannic structure is big enough to balance the acidity out. Light cherry continues from the nose and the herbal flavors become more pronounced. This has room for more aging but with a long enough decant is great do drink now.
