For a new world style Barolo I have to give this high marks. For what it is and for lovers of newer Barolo style wine I have to say that this is a top notch representation. A ton of depth with rosy rich, dense, concentrated flavors including dark chocolate, sweeter spices, and dark ripe fruit with dried cherries. You can pair just about anything that is really hearty and rich with this wine and not lose any of the profile. Still a very young wine - it will be interesting to see what happens over time.

Deep brick red with a brown rim. Sweet chocolate cherry nose. Thick and velvety mouth feel. Port, dark fruit, chocolate on the palate. Medium finish. Wonderful.

My wife and I agree that this is probably not a 97 point wine like Wine Spectator says. However, pretty f'n awesome. Went soooo well with the mushrooms in my Veal Marsala. Tannins are very reasonable. Everything was wonderful. Silky, tannic, musty nose. Flavors were not as deep and varied as would have hoped. Still a stunning wine. 92-93

Spectacular. Lovely deep brick red color. Chocolate, dark fruit with some smoke. Was terrific with grilled beef. Wish I had more.
