November 30, 2020 - Did not like the wine initially, but had another glass about three hours later and I liked it better.

April 18, 2017 - Bright garnet in color with ruby edge. Nose of violets, peaches, hint of leather. Taste of cherries, rhubarb, tobacco, and hint of tar. Young, with sneaky tannins, pronounced acidity, and elegant structure. Drink in 2-4 years and over the next decade.

April 23, 2015 - PnP. Decent lower end barolo. Part modern, part traditional. On a QPR basis, I have a couple of others in mind that get more bang for the buck, but they lean more modern.
