December 7, 2018 - D1h. Garnet red, 4. Mature bouquet dominated by volatile acidity, spicy, dried roses. Tannins almost resolved, fine finish, albeit too much volatile acidity. Drink NOW

November 28, 2014 - Drank by the glass at Cut. This was a really enjoyable for a young, entry-level Barolo. Great with a dry-aged ribeye steak as well. It was not altogether classically styled, but certainly not overtly modern either. The nose showed some ripe dark berry aromas, a bit of herb, a dash of tar and a drift of dried violets, all sprinkled liberally with warm spice scents. With time, some savoury meat and mushroom and damp earth notes started coming out as well. A really complex nose for such a young wine I thought. Very nice. The palate was quite a bit simpler, more in keeping with the wine's youth, but was still very pleasant. Fine, but still chewy tannins and fresh acidity made it a great pairing with our meat, while the ripe flavours of dark berries seasoned with a twist of menthol and savoury meat showed a pleasant depth, even if they were just a bit on the primary side. I really liked the balance on this. There was a nice freshness throughout, so that it was neither too sweet and facile nor too shrill and acidic as some young Baroli in this price range can be. Good long finish too, with a dusting of herb and spice over a little chew of tannins. Still too young - I would give it anywhere from 6-8 years more and look for it to continue aging quite a bit longer than that - but it was still very enjoyable and a great pairing with our beef on the night.

August 15, 2014 - Off the wine list at Il Villagio Osteria, Teton Village. Very expressive nose of red fruit and savory herbs. So much more complex than the Tre Nova Nebarro (WA) we had before hand... Paired with elk chop (again!) and seafood Fra Diavolo.
