2.5 years since my last bottle. This has great balance and finish. There’s still quite a bit of dried fruit hinting at its age. Hardly tertiary notes though. This is near or in its prime with a couple decades of enjoyability. Revisit 2030.

A bit brown around edges. Perfect cork. Perfect fill. Beautiful blended berry nose. Absolutely delicious, blackberry and cherry with well balanced tannins likely at its prime, not rolling over yet.

La Festa del Barolo Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Another one of ours and it was drinking particularly well (although I was more partial to the Burlotto I think). I get sandalwood and maybe a hint of cinnamon and some red fruits in here. Interesting and a slightly different style than some others on the table, but it worked. Very well integrated and just overall in that perfect drinking spot which is always fun to find in a bottle.

I’ve enjoyed on many occasions. Still enjoyable but losing a step. Had a heavy must nose which disapated quickly.
