  Near perfection for me. Stunning wine. Everyone agreed it was outstanding. In a perfect window now and I’d drink up soon

  Wonderful wine. Ready to go. No formal notes but incredible out of the bottle or with a decant. Recommend a 1 hour decant.

  Decanted for 3 hours, during which it moved some but not a lot. The nose is neither mind-blowingly complex nor an aromatic explosion but it is pleasant and classic with savory cherry-driven fruit, tar and hints of herbs and truffle. Bright and detailed most definitely. On the palate the wine is not huge per se but the structure damn straight is. After the mellow entry a tidal wave of tannin emerges and grips the palate in a way only Nebbiolo can. That’s not the end of all the fun however as there is some delicious, bright fruit still present after that and the finish is pleasantly dry and clean. About 10 years away from reaching its apogee, I think it is a very good wine of the more traditional kind. While young there is clearly an elegant side to it, it is not a bruiser by any means despite the notable structure

  Exceptional wine. It has matured nicely. Light garnet, integrated tannins, medium plus acidity. One of the best Barolo I’ve had. Bought at Oddero, so cork and bottle were in perfect shape. Can’t wait to try more of these in the future.

  Wow. Coravin tasting. Outstanding right out of the bottle. Loads of ripe fruit, ruby/garnet, very floral. Medium plus acidity and tannins are surprisingly mellow. Will try this again in a few years.
