February 27, 2020 - Decanted for two hours, drunk over a period of another two. Medium to dark ruby colour. Red fruit, rosewater, tar and spices, with good acidity, fairly fine and well-integrated tannin and very good length. Fruity, full-bodied, ripe and modern. Only moderated complexity, but very powerful, and quite delicious and intriguing. My father-in-law and I were unable to stop pouring glass after glass until the bottle was finished...

January 11, 2014 - Very similar to my previous note. Modern and attractive but sturdy wine that is completely intact on the second day even if the tannins are now largely resolved. Relatively little Nebbiolo or Barolo typicity however.

March 16, 2013 - Like nine months ago there is a basis of cedar and dusty gravel on the nose, but this time there is also a lovely complexity of amarena cherries, flowers, leather and a slight nuttiness; mid-palate there is a lovely roundness and sweetness that is balanced well by the rich but finely-grained tannins, has flavours of gingerbread and candied orange; very good length. Fully mature but probably with five more years in hand.

June 16, 2012 - Very different from last year. Showing well but not very typical. Cedary and slightly dusty nose - I could have sworn it was an old-fashioned Saint-Julien; on the palate medium-weight, well-balanced, fully mature but lively, velvety tannins; good length.

July 10, 2011 - Seems fully mature immediately after opening - past best even? Decanting improves the wine, the earth and nuts are replaced by fresher notes of fruit, flowers and tar; good tannic grip and length. Hard to predict.
