  Brilliant light to medium red, fading to mahogany. Nose is herb, sour cherry, licorice, mint - enticing. Terrific concentration of raspberry, cherry, rose, cherry candy and baking spice. Almost medium body, refreshing, and the grip arrives just at the same time as the aromatics. This is so detailed and fine in the mouth! Brava!

  Brilliant as ever. Light, ethereal, sophisticated, rose petals meets racy/sexy P. It’s just such reliably good barolo and a happy trade between classic and contemporary. I prefer without doubt the traditional producers, with the exception of Chiara boschis. Galloni’s notes are pretty spot on for these wines. Drank after an 09 oddero vigna mondoca (which I preferred, but that doesn’t detract from how much I like this wine) and paired with the best osso bucco and risotto Milanese I’ve had (oddero a slightly better food match). I will hold my remaining bottles of this for c.5-7yrs/their c.20th birthday.

  Tasted at the winery after the 2017 baroli- a revelation! Stunningly complete from nose to finish with a complex rich and fulfilling mid palate. I’m discovering that 9-15 years from harvest is where I most enjoy “mature” Barolo. Certainly this isn’t overly tertiary but it is a fully resolved perfumed and complex Barolo with a full body and so much to enjoy. We poured with Coravin which threw a lot of sediment.

  Tasted against a 1997 Barolo. Good nose with red berries, on palate you feel the tanins and fruit, but not yet as smooth as an older Barolo. In my view this one will still get a lot better over the next years and become a 93 or 94! Not in a hurry!
