January 6, 2023 - Classic Barolo. Roses, tar, tobacco, cherry, tannin. Seamless. Ready to go but years ahead of it.

November 21, 2018 - Clear medium garnet color. Clean nose of medium intensity with aromas of cedar, toast, nutmeg, leather and forest floor. This wine is fully developed. On the palate it is dry with medium acidity, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus body, medium flavor intensity of leather, forrest floor, cedar, and dried cranberry. The finish is medium. Good wine that should be drunk now, I don't think that it should be aged any further.

September 1, 2018 - Dinner at Birch. I have never tasted this producer before so I was quite curious . Deep dark crimson red. Little shy on the nose but opened up during the two hours in the decanter. Very focused on the palate; minerals, tobacco, roses and dark red fruit. Intense yet balanced, smooth. Silky tannins.
