  October 23, 2022 - Aldo Conterno Barolo Romirasco 2010.
  Svært svært pent.
  Nesa er til å dø for.
  Fantastisk frukt og struktur.
  Du kan si hva du vil om eikebruken, men den fruktkvaliteten her takler det på strak arm.
  Dette er klasse-Barolo!
  Svært ung fortsatt og river bra i munnhulen.
  Klokkerent.
  Som en bulldoser i finish.
  Varer en evighet med markante tanniner.
  Alt er på stell her.
  A legend in the making. 95p

  September 17, 2022 - Eight years since I first tasted this at the winery in 2014.
  Allot has happened since then, but perhaps not so much with this wine?
  Still somewhat a beast of a Barolo - in a good way thought.
  Nose is just amazing - overloading the system - oozing with a fruit mixture of dark cherries, brighter strawberries, plums, black berries, and a garden of red roses all mixed with layers of smoke, oak, stones, herbs, tea, tobacco, mushrooms, tar, orange peel, truffles.
  Palate is nowhere different from the nose.
  Big boy, filled with dark fruits, cherries, blackberries, and a secondary layer of strawberries and wild strawberries on top.
  Herbs and licorice, salmiak and traces of spices, pepper and tar.
  Extremely well balanced between acidity and fruit.
  This is in it's teenage phase right now, and I can not even imagine how it will turn out on the other side - as an adult?
  Pure magic in a bottle.
  Might reach the magic 100 points?
  Great tonight, wish I had more time to just sit and enjoy this masterpiece, but we had many wines to finish off, so see you again in a few years.
  I scribbled 98 on my note tonight, due to being more closed than when absolutely fresh of the barrel when i rated it higher ion 2014 - but this wine will go thru phases so still allot to find out here, all is there for the patient.
  98 - 100

  August 19, 2022 - Decanted 4 hours. Dark blackish ruby, long slow legs, on 👃 first peppery leather notes followed by graphite, licorice, prune, woodsy wet forest. Dry, full milky body, very highly acidic, ultra frontal tannins with mouth sucking ripe raspberry finish. Good to drink now or wait a few more years in bottle (this crazy acidity should be able to evolve the bottle).

  August 5, 2022 - Decanted 2h30m. Dark ruby color, long legs. Delicate nose with beautiful notes of tar, violets, aromatic wood, cherries. Palate is just amazing - so much going on here. Great structure and very well balanced, with nice acidity and chalky tannins. The wine is medium/-full bodied, with notes of violets, garrigue, dark cherries - textbook Bussia here. Mouth-coating tannins - so young still - a slight touch of alcohol, anise on the nice, long ending.
  
  Drink now with plenty of decanting - but hopefully you can hold on 5-6 more years. A fantastic wine!

  April 25, 2021 - Transcendent. Tar and Roses, sure, but also banana — yes, banana — as noted by Uncle Andre. It continued to develop over the next three hours, over a long Arizona night. Sweet, savory, brambly and elegant. All at once.
