September 1, 2023 - 3-4 hour decant served this quite well. A classically styled Nebbiolo with tons of finesse and traditional plum, licorice, florals and road tar. On the younger side but air did well to soften this up. No rush with a long life ahead.

May 3, 2020 - nada como darle tiempo a un buen Barolo. Rubý de media capa con ribete atejado. nariz atractiva, con muy buena definición y una amplia paleta olfativa: fruta licorosa, marroquinería, champiñones, especiados (pimienta blanca, canela), fruta licorosa, cacao en polvo. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio y cuando uno espera un tanino contundente el tanino se muestra firme pero pulido y con excelente integración, bien de acidez, notable estructura y bastante longitud. Sin síntomas de declive.

January 17, 2019 - PnP. Double decanted and tasted. Solid. Lacks a bit of complexity. Dusty tannins. Tart.
