    March 18, 2024 - Umiddelbart efter dekantering virkede den lidt “skæv” - den smagte godt, men den havde en tone, der mindede om en anelse oxidation. Men det gik hurtigt over, og så foldede den sig ud og var meget frisk og åben i udtrykket. God struktur, men forbløffende lidt tannin.

    December 26, 2023 - A superb bottle at the peak of its primary stage. A very beautiful color of opaque red and yet transparent at the rim and on the nose it was a sublime rainbow of red berries, red roses, gray pepper, mint, slight leather and an effortlessly lifting up to heaven. On the palate it was superbly textured and beautiful displaying its qualities all coming in waves in a most natural, attractive way. This was a superbly crafted Barolo, slightly on a feminin side, which for me is a huge quality that I seek out for, and there was a bright and healthy freshness from its entry to the palate which was awakeninig all the taste senses. This is was just about as good as I would wish to have in my glass for Christmas meal. Life is beautiful indeed. Cheers,

    September 30, 2023 - Very much true to the winemakers style. Elegant.
    Rose petals, rosehip, bright pure fruit, some pepper and silky tannins. Very much approachable and will likely develop in a positive way the coming decade.

    October 8, 2022 - Gorgeous nose of dried flowers, light red cherry fruit. Light as a feather, cool and upright in style. Pure fruit, soft and silky tannins, pepper and spices. I wish I had mores of this in my cellar.
