July 21, 2023 - Not super tannic, but a little shut down in my opinion. This was a very good wine, but probably needs to get past this phase. I'd hold for 3-4 more years.

March 5, 2023 - Excellent wine that has aged very well - which is no surprise for a good Barolo. Could still cellar another couple of years and maybe more before it loses its vigour.

January 17, 2023 - Wonderful, took about 2 hrs to fully open up. Heady aromatics, fabulous. Deep, dense, layered black cherry, potpourri, mint, licorice. In the early part of drinking window, will be a treat to revisit 3-5 yrs.

October 31, 2021 - Decanted several hours before drinking with beef tenderloin and lyonnaise potatoes. Significant sediment-glad I used a screen.. Roses and red fruit on the nose but also typical eucalyptus. Those notes carry over to the plate. Medium acidity and fine medium tannins. There is a weight and richness to the wine that makes it substantial but not at all heavy. The finish lingers and there is a note of cherries at the core. Drinking well with plenty of time left.

October 11, 2020 - Solid Barolo that has improved somewhat over the past couple of years. Lots of life left with this vintage
