March 26, 2023 - Mature brown. Opened for about 6 hours before drinking but not decanted. Had a few tastes over that time and was disappointed - it was rubbery and synthetic. But then in typical Barolo fashion it was totally transformed with food (on this occasion an oxtail pithivier) - completely integrated plum, prune, raisin, violet, mint, leather...and totally resolved tannins. Classy, perfectly mature. An absolute pleasure. My last bottle, but ended on a high note.

June 22, 2022 - So much better than last time! Poured a glass and allowed bottle to breathe without decanting. Almost bordeaux-like mint and cigar opens the nose, but then follow more typical plum, liquorice and violet notes. Palate is supple and mature. Showing brilliantly. Drink or hold.

December 27, 2021 - Excellent- pop and pour in a restaurant- better after 45 mins but great throughout. The last of my case, and I’m sad to have finished these. There was considerable bottle variation within the case but this was one of the least developed with loads of bramble dark fruit, soft tannins, lively acidity and a great nose.

August 14, 2021 - Opened 6 hours before drinking- looking at my previous note this bottle is significantly more evolved. Following a joyful vibrant and much younger Barbaresco riserva it felt over the hill until paired with Langres cheese and then it was perfect! Plums, mulberry soup, lovely nose and integrated tannins, evolved finish that needed the cheese course to make the medierà notes a plus. And they were!
