Terrific! Not much nose, but we drank it at an Italian restaurant with low-end glasses, so not sure if it was the wine or the glass. However, no doubt about the palate, which while not especially rich, had everything else I like in an aged barolo. Slightly dried red fruits complemented nicely by a complex, intense, array of licorice, leather, dried herbs, earth and oak. Medium weight and elegant in character with a silky texture, lots of bright acidity, fine tannins and a long finish. 93+

Nose of red fruits, leather, licorice, oak and violets that is replicated on the palate. Medium body with an elegant, smooth, polished texture and a long, fruity finish. Nice depth and complexity, and plenty of bright acidity. Really nice combination of aromas, flavors and texture within a lightweight framework. Still with some sharp edges, but much improved over the past couple of years.

Flavorful and complex, but overripe. Disappointing.

Cooked fruit, seemed a bit on the decline but pleasant enough.

A nice sweet plum aroma. A nice fruity flavor that had a nice mouth feel. Decent finish. A great italian dinner wine.
