July 18, 2015 - A touch less fresh than the 10/24/14 bottle but still a delicious mature Barolo. Drink up!

June 17, 2015 - Showing plenty of light amber notes to the pale orange red hue. Old school, and not at all oaky, this is a bit reticent at first, becoming civilized at the 2 hour mark. Lacking some depth, richness and character to take it to the next level. Very dry, though the very fine tannins are mostly resolved. Not catching much of a Barolo flavor or aromatic profile here, this has a subdued and vague earthy, red fruited orientation, with a substantial finish. Nothing great, but a very drinkable, mature, stylishly understated, well made wine. gripNsip's note below captures my experience.
