Beautiful nose, some spice, some red fruit, some floral notes, a lot going on, very aromatic. Palate confirms the nose, tannic as expected, but not overwhelmingly so, pretty balanced. Overall very happy for the price

Had this as a post-NYE catch up with my neighbor. Unusually pale purple color that threw me off. Beautiful floral nose of cherries once opened up. Dry, high acidity, high tannins, medium body. Taste of raspberry, cherries, strawberries with light oak. Medium not terribly complex finish. Average for me.

I have to say I expected more from reputation. Medium ruby colour, medium performed oaky slightly spicy nose, dry high acidity high tannins medium body, medium but sharp jarring finish with the tannins that just killed the gf experience. Maybe age a bit to MILF it up.

Medium plus nose is gorgeous, floral tones, red cherry, tobacco. Palate matches, nicely dry but approachable, good example, very nice at the deal price.

2012 Barolo Reviews; 1/1/2016-12/31/2016: The nose was very pretty, showing bright cherry and cranberry with dusty spice, hints of cedar and floral undergrowth. On the palate, I found angular textures compounded by tart cherry, zesty acidity and saturating wood tannin. It was long on the finish with notes of bitter cherry and cranberry fruit. I craved more freshness here and less austerity, especially in the 2012 vintage, where the fruit doesn’t appear to have the stuffing to hold up against the wood regiment.

Beautiful ruby color, and ready now. Short decant is fine. Bright cherry and soft tannins on the palate.

Lots of sweet nebbiolo fruit. And freshness and not so big on the mid palate but there it is.
