February 4, 2024 - Barolo notes but nothing special. Would probably have better 4 years ago.
March 4, 2023 - 2014 challenging year for red wines
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.
May 29, 2022 - Nice with burgers. Tannins nicely integrated, so it was ready. Fruit and acid were balanced and tasty. More fruit would have put it in the 90’s.
April 5, 2022 - Opened, poured into a decanter, and returned to the bottle after rinsing.
Not much sediment.
Ruby garnet color.
Tasted with food (Apizza with bacon, and apizza margherita, in case you were wondering).
Nice fresh nose with red berries and flowers.
Tart bright intor with good acidity. Light in weight. The tart red berries are the primary element. Not much in the way of tannins.
Opened up with additional exposire to air. Remained a light and fresh wine.
Tasted along with a 2013 Hobel Napa Cabernet.
13.5% abv.
Quality cork.
October 25, 2021 - On the nose flowers, roses, cherries, cranberry, hint of iron, mint and some chalk. Quite expressive. On the palate not as expressive, a bit thin, but better on the (long) finish
Very fine tannins
October 2, 2021 - Ganska lättillgänglig Barolo. Tobak, sandelträ, torkade körsbär. Prisvärd.
August 27, 2021 - Maybe this has aged long enough -- even in a constant temp wine fridge. Started to lose its smoothness, or it's this specific bottle. But it's my last one - no forth to compare with.
