Wanted to see if last tasting was an anomaly, and indeed - it was. This bottle was much better. I do think that it is a rather fruity and forward type of wine, but it is well made and the character of the grapes isnt completely lost as last bottle did imply. Improved with air considerably. Drink or hold, still rather fresh!

Naah, that was just so cooked and incoherent in terms of acid, body and tannin. No detail, just brute force. 89 is the techical score, enjoyment lower. Drink now, or hold as experiment.

Very tight after opening. An hour later, notes of cooked fruit and cherry. Dry and as it opens the tannins relax giving a velvety mouth feel. Long finish. Not sure I will wait 10 years for the second one. Enjoy!

A little softer and more integrated than a couple years ago. This is a big boy wine. Not super complex, but big and delicious. Tannins are still pretty heavy.

Classy nose of tar and black tea, super fine tannins, again black tea flavors and coffee, more structure than fruit, clean and mineral, seems rather closed at the moment and will require patience. - 90+ points

Really nice Barolo in perfect shape. Fresh and the 13 years of age , was not noteable.

At this point way to young and wild but it has great potential. With proper care this will be a great wine (92+?).
