  Drink up. Dried plum, raisiny nose. Medium bodied, sour dried plumy fruit, short bitter end.

  Very good if not quite up to last bottle. Similar profile but a bit less expressive. That said very enjoyable especially for the lovely subtle and balanced dark fruit, light herb/earth palate, fine tannin. Last 2009, have a couple of 2010s waiting and thinking sooner rather than later.

  Very good, but light. Clearly the house style, but perhaps surprising. On this bottle I wouldn't rush to buy it, but I respect it.

  Really good aging. Nice soft and complex nose with classical Barolo elements. Medium acid and really smooth tannins. Excellent soft fruity and spicy notes rounded and developed by the aging. Very well balance. Medium lenght.

  Based on my previous bottles, agree with the drink up sentiments. Good, but previous bottles were more enjoyable.
