  February 23, 2024 - Dark fruit, rose petals, tar - very typical. Drinking well but fruit is slowly fading.

  August 19, 2023 - PnP but over 2h from bottle, 15-19C.
  
  Still stunning - dry roses, tar, forrest, spruce shoot.
  
  My last bottle. I think it is time to drink/will not improve if you like more fruit.

  April 16, 2023 - Only decant from cellar temp to 16C. Drank after Produttori Barbaresco -17 with the same pasta carbonara.
  
  Have not developed since last tasting, and neither faded. Solid. Same notes as before.

  March 30, 2023 - Cellartracker in the flesh with Stefan, Mats & Tomas (Primo Yokohama, Yokohama): Meaty, charcuterie, concentrated dark fruits, sweet spice, polished oak, caramel with time the oak notes grow. Thick. Juicy acidity, plenty of slightly woody but surprisingly smooth tannins, a little porty, almost a touch of residual sugar, kind of nice but also not very representative of Barbaresco for me.

  March 30, 2023 - Piedmonte with only Barolo and Barbaresco (Restaurant Primo in Kannai, Yokohama): With Chatters, Vintomas and Mats @PRIMO. Theme: Old Barolo/Barbaresco.

  This is a rather big wine, but not over the top (as I had expected). It's a long, rich Nebbiolo with aromatics towards dill, red and darker fruit with a whipping of menthol.
