10/24/23, 2:19 PM - I was surprised myself. I was looking for the 2006 but apparently I only have the riserva. So I tried one of these. No decant, minimal sediment. The structure had settled on this bottle plenty but the 'tar' was entirely clear with an interesting almost funk of tertiary and primary flavors mixing together. Lots of life on this wine, for sure. If you own a good number, opening one now is a useful snapshot.

8/17/21, 11:28 AM - No hurry. I've got five more and will keep some for the long haul.
4/26/21, 6:47 AM - LOL, but no. Just the first time seeing humans in a very long time!
12/4/20, 11:07 AM - Perhaps in the post vaccine world! For now, just my fiance and I...
7/24/20, 11:48 AM - Happy to help
7/17/20, 5:09 PM - Would it have been better immediately? Yes. But it wasn't going to be good either way.
6/7/20, 8:40 AM - Yes, the Tondonia is pretty much always a great wine. I've got five more. Ordered a case of 07.
6/7/20, 12:28 PM - Indeed, and 5 bosconia!
2/2/20, 6:19 AM - Good to know, I did save some of the bottle for the next day and it did not emerge from slumber.
7/10/19, 12:24 PM - ~$60
3/15/19, 8:28 AM - It was the reserve, sorry.

7/19/15, 5:09 PM - I hear you Knurd on Gattinara providing a better experience than entry level Barolo. I think part of that is the small number of Gattinara producers that make it to the US vs the much larger number of mediocre Barolo producers. Still, I do really enjoy well aged Gattinara, Spanna, etc. Its easy to overlook these areas. If I were to come across a nice deal on the handful of producers I'm acquainted with, I'd be a buyer.
7/2/15, 5:06 PM - This is my third of three bottles. The other two were clean. Brett isn't the same thing as a wine being corked. Brett can come from anywhere including the equipment and barrels.
10/10/14, 6:26 AM - I'm not sure on decant time. Unlike usual, I didn't take a taste when I first opened it. It smelled nice right off the bat though. If you aren't giving it any air, I'd drink it over a bit of time.
7/19/14, 5:20 PM - No, I drank it over four hours and it didn't change much during that time. I did not decant but the first glass sat around for an hour before I really started paying attention to it.
5/1/12, 5:02 PM - Such a low score without details is irresponsible.
