  Hard to find anything to like about this wine. Not much, if any, fruit, loads of tannin still, bouquet-lite, weird carmelized finish.

  Tremendous amount fruit.. lots of layers... wood integrating.. excellent effort
  HERE IS MY CONTERMPORANEOUS NOTE -- GAVE IT A 94 (MISTAKENLY ENTERED UNDER THE BAROLO ARBORINA) -- Stunningly good effort. Hard to believe this didn't see the ageing to be designated Barolo. Can't fine my note on AG board; will need to search my emails and revise.

  Not terribly expressive on day 1, but still showing good nebbiolo character with a twist of woodsmoke. Absolutely dry but rich in glycerin. On day 3, the nose gained expressiveness if not interest, showing ultramodern preserved fruit and oaky allspice. There's nothing wrong here, but the wine disappoints given its pedigree.
