February 15, 2020 - Light and pale. Some VA and gentle green. Elegant feel, a surprising amount of cherry fruit, and soft soil base. An excellent overperformer giving its all close to age 60.

January 10, 2018 - Beautiful resolved Barolo. Fragrant, gentle, sweet, persistent. So bright with a vein of energy running through it. Just a little grip. Great bottle and all that Jazz.

August 14, 2014 - Clear and pure, black tea, tar, resin, definitely as good as one might expect, truly a -61.

May 8, 2013 - Attractive nose, liqueur-like sweet aromatics entwined in one powerful package. Shows the strong fruit and flavours of the super vintage, not as long and lingering as the -64.

August 28, 2012 - This one too requires a couple of hours to open, attractive and nice but a bit short aftertaste.
