90 Points

Monday, December 25, 2023 - Very drinkable but unfortunately over the hill. The wine is on point in terms of correctness, just not enough legs to last anymore. On the nose it actually smells promising, sweet roses, earth and liquorice. But the palate is lacking; elegant, acidic, with some mushroom, tobacco and little fruits left to speak of. There’s also a distinct sherry like note here which probably is a natural consequence of the age. No luck with the Barolo roulette this year.
