February 4, 2024 - Barolo notes but nothing special. Would probably have better 4 years ago.

February 8, 2023 - Garnet color with just a hint of browning. Nose: Candied violets , forest floor, mild cedar, faint cinnamon bun. Palate: Very little fruit, medium body, medium+ tannins, medium+ acidity. Decent finish. Perhaps I should have opened this two or three years ago - it might have had more fruit to balance the tannins and the acidity.

December 20, 2022 - Amber tinged ruby. Tar, dried roses and earth dominated nose. Not much fruit or sweetness and not too forgiving but think I would guess barolo blind. Denectly long finish but with some astringency. Drinkable for sure.

December 2, 2022 - PnP, consumed over 3 hours. Appearance: Clear, pale garnet. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with aromas of classic Barolo scents of cherry, rose petal, tar, leather and spice. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, tannins are on the soft side but very present - medium+, medium body, medium intensity, 14.0% abv back label (13.5% front label - I'm feeling the back label is closer to the truth) with a medium+ finish. Overall a very nicely done entry level Barolo showing classic Nebbiolo characteristics with great complexity and length. Drinking well upon opening today but has the stuffing to go another 3-5 years easily.
