  February 7, 2024 - 2010 Barolos at Terra Rossa with NLWTS (Terra Rossa, Upper Street): Dark ruby. Pretty dark fruited. Super youthful palate; coarse, burley tannins. Some black fruit and stewed red fruits. Feels nowhere near ready; all potential and not much pleasure at this stage. 90++

  February 7, 2024 - 2010 Barolo (Terra Rossa, N1): This was another one which had all the power and energy in the world but it's currently turned inward and - for me at least - not in a place to give any real pleasure. Smoky, dense dark fruit, hot tar. Kind of impenetrable and I found the same on the palate, which is all about dense tannic structure at this point in time

  November 11, 2023 - Dark fruit, licorice, cigar. Powerful and concentrated, lots of tannins. Needs a bit of air to come around. Will last many years I believe.

  August 19, 2022 - Lovely, expressive and seductive fruit showing a mix of sweet cherry and plum. More in the red fruit spectrum though. It also shows some balsamic notes, leather and (porcini?) mushrooms. It still shows some floral aspects as well, but not as much rose as I was expecting. Appearing more as lavender with a sprinkle of dried rose. I do feel that the alcohol is coming through on the nose with what feels like a dollop of aceton - but not as a fault. Slightly dusty nose.
  
  The palate shows similarly with expressive fruit and fabulous balance. Deep, but at the same time graceful. Bit alcohol in the finish, but nothing unpleasant. Very good length with slightly grainy tannins. A couple of more years will do this good, but this bottle was a bit more developed than expected.
  
  Paired well with porcini mushroom risotto.
  
  I did not score the wine, but based on memory I would think approx. 92
