  • From magnum. Decanted 15 minutes before serving.

    Very open aromatically. Mature red fruits, some undergrowth and spices. A small hint of game. A little heat on the palate, but very pleasant otherwise. Structure is fully resolved and after being open an hour, it does get a little disjointed.

    This was served blind after a Vajra BdV 2010. The server said this would be a fitting follow-up, so we thought this might be another Barolo. Our guesses therefore went towards an older, spicier barolo from the eastern part of the appelation.

  • My last bottle of this. Wow! Drinking very well right now. Opened a couple of hours before dinner. Nice texture, solid fruit, balanced and just plain delicious.

  • PNP from magnum. A bit tired at open but with 30 minutes if air this actually freshens up a bit. Nice red fruit and easy to drink but this should be drunk up now. B+

  • PNP at cellar temp from a magnum bought from a retailer in the secondary market. Pretty open right out of the bottle but better with 30 minutes of air to warm and settle. Ripe dark red fruits, fully open and almost lush for a Mt Eden but with nice balance and tannin fully resolved on the finish. I was surprised the next day the recorked bottle held up very well. I would still recommend drinking up for the ripe, balanced fruit as this is not going to get any better in my opinion and waiting for some secondaries to develop would risk losing the fruit. Very enjoyable. A-

  • Lots of Bing cherry action with herby stem inclusion. Perfectly generous, lifting acidity lacking tartness with very finely focused tannin. Terrific.
