  Really nice sweet spot Barolo. Not too modern, somewhat traditional, nicely aged and pretty pure. Distinct tar, rose petals and cherry’s. Bright acidity. Integrated tannin. Long finish. Quite nice!

  Very disappointing. Leaving half bottle for tomorrow to see if it improves

  Popped and decanted 2 hours before climbing in. Snuck a first sip upon opening and was met by grippy tannins. After waiting, notes of mushroom, tar, blackberries, but still a biting finish and also heavy alcohol component coming through. I expected this to be a bit more inviting at this point, but not so. Hold?? Not sure more time will get this to the next level, it may just be what it is...

  Pretty good. Beautiful tannins. Smooth finish. Drinking really really well right now. I suspect this as many years left in the tank. No hurry for me to finish the rest of my stash.

  Really good. Big acidity but fruit was up to the challenge tonight. Long smooth finish with typical Barolo tannins. This wine is coming along nicely.
