  August 29, 2021 - Very dark, almost blackish. Nose not very open at cellar temperatures but earthy blackberry; wood more burnt than sweet. Entry is tasty nice black fruit with earth and tobacco. Tannins coming a bit quite late and not strong. This simply follows a linear path with a weighty mouth moving from the tasty slightly more fruit driven entry to a more herbal, tobacco, olive finish. Still a fair bit of spirit left in this. Extended to 2025.

  May 12, 2021 - Piedmont at Terra Rossa (Terra Rossa): Possibly a bit over the hill? On the richer side, a bit soupy, not particularly memorable.

  February 1, 2021 - This wine is holding strong. The fruit pops, tannins are in the background but present. There is blackberry and chocolate and a hint of anise. Enough acid to hold hold up to food. All in all, a great wine for its origin and price point

  March 31, 2020 - Been drinking one of these every couple of years and, while still sound, they don't seem to be getting better and this was my least favorite bottle. The tannins are still present but the fruit has gotten darker and more raspy. I worry about what will come next but will keep on y trajectory and have the next one in 2022.

  February 9, 2020 - As per my previous note. Tasted along side the Barolo from the same vintage it’s clearly a simpler, straightforward wine but so much fun to drink.
