March 3, 2023 - Massive nose! Fills up the room with roses, vanilla, and baking spices. Othewise deliciously consistent with my previous notes.

July 12, 2022 - Decanted for 1-3h. Huge nose of cherry and rhubarb compote, rose, and hints of vanilla. On the palate, dense red fruit, tar, mineral, faint tannins, black pepper, and acid in the long peppery finish. Delicious! 93/94

February 19, 2021 - Opened to breathe for 4h. Wow, what a beautiful wine. Expansive fragrant nose of roses, mineral, and vanilla; on the palate smooth red and dark cherries, tar, mineral, camphor, potting soil, refined tannins, acid in the finish. Medium bodied. Smooth and classy, like a lady in a black evening dress, great fruit, great complexity, evokes the very best of the Langhe. Tonight with grilled chicken. Glad I have more. Drink or hold. Or drink. 94/95

June 5, 2020 - Opened to breathe for an hour, this is a gorgeous perfumy Barolo, like drinking a bouquet of roses, violets and cherries, wrapped in leather and cottony tannins; beautiful complexity evoking the Langhe, consistent with my previous note. Tonight with beer can grilled chicken (really fabulous pairing) and smashed small potatoes with butter.

March 15, 2020 - Opened to breathe for an hour, tasted head-to-head with the '09 Santo Stefano. The nose has violets and more mineral and baking spices. On the palate, rich mature red fruit, more mineral, great structure and finish. Definitely a notch above the '09 Santo Stefano (so strange, that is usually my favorite cru from this vintner). The polish and structure is really outstanding. I haven't tasted this in 3 years, but it is just as good as when I tried it but for different reasons. In my opinion this is now ready for business, no point in holding this longer from my point of view. Tonight with grilled salmon, sausages, and grilled zucchini.
