February 19, 2024 - A bit rougher than my last few bottles. Decanted for 30 minutes needed more time.

April 16, 2022 - Not quite up to prior bottles, will update on day 2
Well, day 6 and it’s amazing. I think it evolved under coravin, really more balanced and polished.

April 29, 2020 - 3 hour slo-o. An amazing wine that continues to drink with finesse and soul. Beautifully balanced and elegant palate that evolves with each sip and then finishes with great length. This is my eighth bottle in the past 7 years and each has been fantastic. Hard to believe that I only paid $27 a bottle for this 7 years ago.

April 15, 2020 - Lovely Nebbiolo, not with the same complexity of the better barolo's, but a fine Gattinara. Still youthful.
