  March 27, 2024 - Keith's Italian Wine Dinner (Osteria Langhe - Chicago IL): Old, old school style in every respect. This comes across as a bit disjointed, needing more time to harmonize, but it is almost 30yo.

  December 31, 2022 - Strawberries and cream with menthol to start, this developed somewhat over the 4 or so hours we had it open, but strangely enough seemed at its most appealing at the outset.

  June 26, 2022 - Ripe but still powerful in the aromas with misty tea and rose petals, graphite and some truffles. Full-bodied and balanced Barolo with beautifully dried red fruit, charcoal and wonderful truffle tones. A Barolo with several layers that still lives and has energy. Long complex and salty finish that melts Barolo hearts.

  May 20, 2022 - Definitely starting to show its age with tertiary flavour and hint of soy. Great intensity and persistence. Drink now.

  March 5, 2022 - I cannot understand if it is incredibly young or if it is oxidized due to a non impeccable conservation by the previous owner. When the bottle was opened there was an explosion of aromas. The color was almost impeccable, however, the tannins were very rough and the wine was very iron, almost oxidized, I would say. After a few hours the oxidized scents seemed to diminish and a bit of cherry came out but no bouquet and no complexity.
