  Perfect condition for drinking. Smooth and powerful wine at peak after 11 years in cellar. Enjoyed with friends att barbecue

  Open for business after 30min decant. Delicate, somewhat muted nose of cranberry with hints of anise. Lots of secondary notes on the palate - stewed plum, cinnamon, vanilla, and much more. very present but integrated tannins. Finishes with a hint of fruit fly ;)
  
  Not sure where it will go from here - I will drink my remaining bottle in the near future I think.

  As previous bottle. Haven't aged much and obviously needs more time in the cellar. Feels like the wine is in a tunnel right now.

  Slight hints of maturity, huge perfyme nose with viols, roses, black tea, tart and liquorice. Have had some cheaper Barolos before, I like the style very much. After an hour in the glass, superb!

  Wine Festival Tasting Room, quick notes. Huge nose showing rich dark fruits, red cherry, raspberry, and tar. Cherry dominates the palate, along with asphalt, plum, anise, and blackberry. Lots of dusty tannin, with a long finish. Very nice.
