  November 18, 2023 - Smells strongly of rose, eucalyptus. Tastes vibrant, still very tannic.

  January 28, 2023 - A saturated, suitably spicy Barolo which treats the palate with teenage tingly tannins and therapeutic Balsamic trappings. Save for your old age, no fruit remaining to depart before you do. Or, serve up the Ragu Bolognese over Jovial Farfalle.

  October 28, 2022 - Forest undergrowth, earth, and spice initially on the nose; the fruit is somewhere on the back burner, stewing away. Quite musty. On the palate, there’s a bit of leather and earth but with a still vibrant core of cherries and strawberries. A touch of smoke and oak rounds out the finish, which goes on for a remarkably long time. Still a bit too young, but already drinking quite nicely after a couple hours. I’d give this another 2-3 years and check back. Really solid bottle for the price point.

  March 1, 2022 - By the glass at Eataly. Soft nose of cedar and vanilla. On the palate, bright red fruit, tar, chewy tannins that really stick around for a long cottony finish. Paired with agnolotti.

  December 29, 2021 - Fabulous Barolo from an awesome vintage. Big structure but easily accessible now with dark fruits integrated. Hints of tobacco, anise, and cough medicine. Well balanced and good length.
