  May 1, 2024 - Coravin. Similar note to my last bottle recently. Perhaps showing less obvious heat, more appropriate for the year than out of place or high. Lovely drinking now, these will age reasonably well but mine won't last that long. 92
  With a bit of air, definitely that heat comes out again. I'm curious what this will do with some age, so I'll save my last bottle for a few years (5-10?) and try again. Still nice now, especially for the year. I think the 2018 Ravera is drinking better now though than the Bricco.

  April 17, 2024 - Coravin. Pale ruby color, very slight bricking common in young nebbiolo; aromatic, red fruited, red currant, florals, very elegant; palate is light bodied, fabulously youthful and fresh red fruits, very high and youthful tannin, high 14.5% alcohol (noticeable but not out of place for a warmer year), nice persistence of flavor through the midpalate; medium-plus length finish with nice complexity. An excellent barolo from a warm year, showing all the elegance and red-fruitedness that I expect from this vineyard. Obviously youthful and will evolve nicely over the medium term. 92+, potential for more if the alcohol integrates well.
  Over a few hours, this integrates well especially with the tannins. The alcohol is just a touch high but starting to integrate as well.

  February 11, 2024 - From magnum purchased at Sun Valley Wine Company for Super Bowl weekend with our travel group. Luxurious nose of dried rose petals, cranberries, and spice. Medium bodied with bracing acidity. Luscious fruit, raspberry and cranberry and cherry, minerals, stones. Very young but oh so delicious. The group was exceedingly happy with this one. Bravo!

  July 6, 2023 - Precise and delineated with dried flower and red cherry, fine and beautiful, with a foundation of spice box. Elegant, almost understated, with bright acidity and a fine minerality. Very good.
