  color light garnet, smooth tannins, good acid, tertiary flavors starting to show, drank easily and smoothly. Old wines are always a surprise when one opens them, and this was a positive surprise.

  Dinner with friends. PnP, no TN, from memory. Drunk next to Aurelio Settimo's Rocche Riserva of the same vintage .
  This took a while to open up and come together, but it did after a few hours and was lovely.
  From the color it looked younger than the Barolo and overall it was also less evolved, less complex and more on the fruit. But it drank very well: full-bodied but well balanced at the same time and with good depth of flavors. Already very nice to drink now, but with potential to improve even further.

  Blindsmaking. Litt urein nese, paprika, honning, solide tanniner, rognebær, kraftig. Positiv opplevelse

  DnP. Unfortunately this bottle was unclean. Not really corked but surely off. Domage - last tasted in August 2021 it was superb (93p)
