March 4, 2024 - Very good but fully mature, don't think it'll get better (based on this particular bottle)
January 4, 2024 - Drinking beautifully. Classic Barolo.
January 3, 2024 - This seemed perfectly mature. Nevertheless, there were some of these slightly „unclean“ Monprivato notes I sometimes struggle with, first I thought it might have some TCA or Brett. Besides that, the wine was showing very nicely though. Notes of darker red fruit, some cellar notes too, there is also some animalic notes, tobacco, tar. It‘s medium+ bodied, with good persistence, some medium-high acidity and medium tannin that is very silky. Good length. Maybe I just don‘t get these wines completely.
December 28, 2023 - I bought 3 bottles from Garagiste back in the day. My 3rd corked bottle (100 percent corked🤪. Congrats Garagiste!). I get some cherries so you get some points from being 70. Disappointed for sure. I need a Two Buck Chuck to cleanse my palate! At least if the cork was stuck in my *ars the barnyard would make me think some type of Rhone wine with some additional points. Nope. Good God...next.....
December 13, 2023 - Both bottles (from different cellars) showed similarly (and well). Black cherry, tar, and roses, some tannic structure but quite approachable. Lovely. A-
November 18, 2023 - Floral Nebbiolo aromas with forest floor, tar, liquorice and caramel/vanilla. Light, intense and delicate for a Barolo. Still with great concentration and nice structure. Delicious!
August 6, 2023 - unfortunately oxidized
May 6, 2023 - Another good, not great bottle of traditional barolo. Tar, black cherries, truffle, earthy, pine/forest. Difficult for me to even write a review since this vintage has just been disappointing for a wine of this caliber. Had four of these. One was horribly corked, one wasn't very good, and two were good, but didn't live up to this wines potential. We did visit the winery 10 years ago and after seeing the winery, not surprised by the wines seeming a bit off. Have three 21's left...
May 1, 2023 - Our bottle seemed slightly off and imbalanced. What wasn't flawed was big, muscular, mushroomy. Didn't love the weight and wouldn't have praised the wine since I prefer elegance in Barolo.
February 12, 2023 - Very much like the 2020 bottle we had -- delightful and similar notes to 2 yrs ago.
