  Heftig vin, mørk tett og tannisk. Med luft kommer mer kirsebær og litt asfalt. Men dette er et langtidsprosjekt...

  One of my two WOTN. Brighter, more energetic, younger and with more heft than the 1998. Plenty of layers with a red-purple fruit, spice, minerals and game are presenting a wonderful, complex Vigna Rionda showing. Changing, growing and playing in the glass. A wine that goes right to my Nebbiolo heart.

  Wonderful mature barolo. Nose of black cherries, roses, leather, menthol, balsamic notes. High acidity, great depth, big mouthfeel, ripe but still bold tannins, long finish. This is in a good spot now, but there is absolutely no rush here. Both tannin structure and fruit consentration will make this wine run for at least another decade.

  Relaxed evening with some wine geeks (Hotel Sonne, Partschins, IT): *** brief notes from memory ***
  Beautiful Barolo at its full peak. Wonderful depth and balance, very beautiful tannin, very good balance and length. Nice! 93

  Klar mørk rød. Antydning til lett orange rand.
  Modne mørke kirsebær. Tjære og lær. Menthol. Etter en stund nype og epleskrott. Etter ett par timer anes en stund orientalsk krydder og til og med peppermynte.
  Tidlig nesten brutal. Mektig voldsom i munnen. Stram, kompromissløs med snerp.. Raskt mer nyansert og vinen byr på flere lag. Flott temmet syre. Vanilje og epleskrott. Blekk og blyantspiss er med i avslutningen. Vinen er med lenge...
