March 28, 2024 - I openned and left in btl for 3 hrs to serve and this time it blossomed a good perfume nose, brownish color, smooth palate. Liu guessed it was an old Barolo as it was very close to such character.

June 12, 2019 - Opened and drank in bottle. A cloudy and bloody red appearance with floral aroma. But lack of body and strength. Too old to drink now.

January 11, 1991 - With Michael Lehmann at Singer & Foy survey of new Italians. Fine rich ruby color. Good fruit, with nicely integrated oak. Chewy, richly endowed wine. Jammy and full. Good fruit. Very good. 5-10-15-7: 87/100.
