  Only slightly less impressive than the previous bottle 14 months ago, I decanted this 45 minutes before dinner but it needed more, and was finished before it his the 90 minute mark ! The Lotto number is extremely faint, but looks like L37 13. This is a joy. It is complex, savory, sappy and balanced, with layers of aromas and flavors emerging with each sip. Despite the hot year, it has plenty of acid and tannin structure. Very good QPR. AT its peak now, will drink well to 2030.

  A very nice wine drinking well now. Great fruit forward with a remarkable long finish.

  My final bottle of this vintage. Popped n' poured at an Italian restaurant with my wine group. Part of a Barolo tasting. Out of the 6 of us, 3 had it as their favorite. Great nose, beautiful on the palate and a medium length finish.

  Winemaker dinner with Giuseppe Vaira (RPM Steak - Chicago, IL): 07/08/09. This is certainly the ripest of the flight but still nicely classic in style and proportion. Young but it works with the rich fruit coating the still rough tannin. Fun now, and should continue to improve. Very well made from a more solar vintage.
