  March 29, 2023 - Drank with Paul again but this this time with Kent as well. Marvelous comments from both as a powerful wine , bursting aroma and silky smooth. Kent guested it as a grand cru Burgundy.

  April 15, 2022 - One hour decant. Ethereal nose of lavender, powder and lemon zest, perhaps a hint of licorice. Tannins are almost totally integrated but still present and very fine. Great mouthfeel and long finish that goes on and on. Dark cherry, rose, a touch of tar. A little port like. Drinking fabulously. One of the finest barolos I have ever had, if not #1 definitely in the top two or 3 but the question of price point should be addressed. I paid slightly over 200 for this bottle and would gladly buy another bottle or two at that price, but no way in hell would I pay the $900+ the current market is pricing it at. I find that to be utterly ridiculous and, personally, i don't think there is a wine on the face of this earth that is worth a thousand dollars a bottle. Speculators and "investors" are destroying the market for actual wine drinkers, kind of sad IMHO. 96 --97

  November 30, 2021 - Return to Piemonte!; 11/25/2021-12/4/2021 (Castello di Sinio, Alba, other various locations): The splurge wine and one that I always find myself liking. This was much more open for business than the ‘01 we had maybe a month ago. Opened and it was singing almost from the get go. Very tasty wine.

  October 28, 2021 - Armand Rousseau Chambertin Dinner (State Street Manor - Chicago IL): Bottle had been opened the day before. Spiced and floral with plenty of slowly advancing red cherry, along with a charming tarragon note that combines dried herbs and anise elements. Slightly oakier than I consider perfectly ideal for Barolo, but with the stuffing for that to have already been nearly absorbed, but still clearly modern-ish. Very good density, good now, better to cellar even further.

  August 12, 2021 - Both Paul and I brought this Granbussia, Paul was 1995 and mine was 2005. Besides the different in lable, 95' vintage shown none age different on the same wine, though mine was opened 4 hours and Paul's was 1 hour in bottle before serving. Both had similar nose of tobacco perfume, pale red ruby colour, silky noble palate and strong structure and medium body, long after taste. 2005 was an average vintage but still had many years to go.
