  Takes a little time and air before it comes together, but when it does there is a wow here. I get the tones of balsamico at the start, which I often get with older nebbiolo, but when the fruit slowly pops out it is all mixed well together with great balance. Great length on the palate. Very, very fine tannins - soon forgotten when the mature fruit enters the picture.

  From magnum. 6 hour slo-o. A spectacular bottle of wine. Gorgeous deep translucent red hue with a magnificent bouquet of of old world Barolo. On the palate the fruit is alive and balanced displaying great finesse and complexity. The wine continued to evolve with each sip and had a lasting an elegant finish. One of the best Barolos I have ever had. A wine with soul that will last another 15 to 20 years.

  Poured a glass from a bottle where 1/3 was taken out with a Coravin two weeks earlier. Left to breathe for abt 2h.
  Rather restrained nose with sweet cherries and strawberry, leather and soil.
  Elegance and power at the same time with a good fruit core in the background. The tannins are fine but still very very prevalent. Earthy mid palate and a warm sensation to finish off. 14% alcohol. Can be ddrunk now but another 7-10 years of cellaring should be rewarding. 91-94 for potential.

  Drank in London (Magnum)
  Nose of smoke, tar and earth with a rich deep palate.

  Drank half one day, half the next. Definitely better the second day. Powerful with great depth of concentration. Highly recommended.
