  August 12, 2015 - Meget mørk, tett farge, brunlig kant. Flott nese; intens duft av morkent trevirke, underskog, tørkede roser, søtlig preg av karamell og toffee, modne plommer - kontinuerlig utvikling i glasset, og nye dufter dukker opp ved hver 'nyhelt'. Kirsebær og marsipan dukker opp etter et par timer...
  Duften gir løfter om en svær vin, og det får man; meget fyldig, konsentrert smak med godt utviklede og nyanserte toner som kan oppfattes som både rustikke, parfymerte og leskende. Syren fortjener et avsnitt for seg selv, den er så ekstremt ren og stram at man må knipe sammen øynene - men balanseres av en korrekt dose moden frukt og en voksen - nesten voldsom - tanninstruktur. Ettersmaken varer i minutter, og alt er godt integrert.
  Nytt bekjentskap, stor vin!

  December 31, 2008 - Opened at 2pm (used the pump opener), poured through a filter cap into a duck decanter. Drank around 9pm. Head-to-head with 1971 Cantina Vinicola Piemontese. Absolutely stunning. Incredible smell, as if one had combined a nice, 15-year-old Amarone, with a Islay Scotch (Lagavulin). Got better and better during the night. Taste was good (delicate) as well, stonger than the Cantina Vinicola one. Had an extremely long aftertaste. Smell of dried cherry, raisins, peat, tar, leather, spices. The smell was absolutely inebriating. Incredible!

  June 29, 2007 - Served blind by Antonio at La Vecchia Bottega in the Ghetto.
  Curious labelling -- says Barbaresco, then Barolo Piemonte, then Barbaresco again, and lastly La Morra.
  Brick red core, orange rim, fine sediment in suspension; has that Nebbiolo look. On nose, fully developed, intense feral, earth, toasted/roasted nuts, dried fruit, brandy. On palate, rich flavour, sapid, umami; medium body, medium alcohol (label 13%) medium acidity, smooth/mild tannins with very slight bitterness on the finish. Very long and complex, beautifully balanced.
