March 25, 2022 - Consistent with last note. Light red berries on the nose, dark red colour. On the palate pleasant and juicy while also dense and compact. An impressive wine. But too much wood for my taste. It might integrate, but I’m not sure. Really good now but you might want to wait a couple of years to see if the wood becomes less pronounced

October 30, 2021 - Beautiful nose of sweet lightish berries. Still a lot of wood and vanilla, to suggest you should leave this for a while. Dark in colour, dense in the mouth. Mouthfilling and really impressive balance, depite the obvious wood - there is a lot of wine here. This will improve vastly over 3-5 years but if you can’t wait, open early and decant and you wont be disappointed!

June 12, 2021 - Good as expected, but maybe too early to open this. Dark in colour, still youthful, dense Nebbiolo fruit, hints of oak, excellent structure and symmetry. Not showing its full potential yet imo, and I will keep next bottle for at least 5 years. 93+

April 27, 2021 - Barolo at RPM Steak (RPM Steak - Chicago, IL): Nose is big but open and showing complexity with sweet fruit, herbs, leather and some woodsy notes. Palate has richly sweet polished fruit made velevty with fine tannin. Delicious and smooth. Young, but fun with a more modern flair.
