Really, really nice Barolo. I'm usually more into Tuscany but this is so charming with pleasant tannins mixed with sour berries, lapsang-tea and dark chocolate. Potential for even pore points with a couple of more years cellaring.

Wine has a touch of bricking, otherwise crimson, moderately bright.
On nose, cherries, strawberries, leather, perhaps a hint of rose.
On palate, wine is sound. More rustic than you would expect given the nose. Strong acid, still a little grippy. Will likely go great with the Bolognese we are preparing tonight.
For those of you who own multiple bottles, I'd hold. Another 2-4 years and this will be like silk.

Loved it, wish i had another bottle to keep. Aroma of vanilla and violet as well as pleasant red fruit. A lot of tanin which made the wine very powerful. Resting it overnight helped release some of the aromas.

Pnp at the winery, in a vertical with the '06 and 2000. Lovely if muted nose of violets and vanilla. Classic nebbiolo profile, prominent tannins. Well balanced and well made. Needs about 2-5 years to soften up to make it approachable I'd say. This is the most closed and, as you might expect, the most tannic of the three vintages.

Wine Warehouse Pre Event 2016 Spring Tastings, nose of tea must, red fruit, and dusty earth, same on the palate, opened nicely, rich fruit, needs 4 years to peak, medium/big body, long finish.

Still drinking wonderfully. Good fruit and that classic Nebbiolo profile across the pallet. This might last a few more years.

Very nice after being open for a bit - roses and red plums on the nose and palate

Dark cherry, soft round tannin, herby, violet touch. Silky wine and so open on the nose. Expressive, classic and very good. Solid 91
