March 13, 2021 - Well this has certainly come around since last bottle. Excellent balance and lovely fruit. At its prime and will be there for a while. Happy there's one left.
January 24, 2020 - Almost tawny, light cokour. Very pronounce nose. Ripe plum, with fuel/plastic aromas. Amazingly pleasing. Med acid and tannins. Long finish. Have eith a good pasta bologna. Repeat.
January 5, 2020 - Not sure what to think about this one. Sure, it's a really nice wine but restrained somehow. Maybe too early?
February 28, 2018 - Barolo très textbook, et représentatif de son millésime. Manque un peu de finesse contrairement à du Vajra ou Conterno, mais ca reste un mangifique Barolo puissant et approchable. À boire maintenant, avec quelques heures de carafe.
3,5/5
November 11, 2015 - Bu à La Grande Dégustation de Montréal.
Un nez sur les fleurs, le goudron, le tabac et les épices.
En bouche, ample et large d`épaule, de l`anis, des prunes et des herbes avec une finale assez fraiche.
Pas prêt.
January 26, 2015 - Great Wines of Italy Tasting 2015 -- Piedmonte (NYC): Bright, cranberry and orange zest. Tannic, made for the long haul.
November 4, 2014 - Nose is bit mute. Palate is quite fresh, red fruit on the mid palate and good backbone too. Excellent.
November 3, 2014 - Accademia el Barolo Tasting (London): Ripe red, spice herb, amazing structure.
Drinking this now is a crime.
October 17, 2014 - 2014 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/14/2014-10/21/2014 (New York City, NY): This deep ruby Barolo is a taut, masculine version of the Nebbiolo grape. It offers red currants, anise, mint and tar on the nose, with similar flavors on the palate. Full-bodied, dense, freshly acidic and with big dry tannins, it is a bit of a mouth-puckerer at this point. The wine's alcohol (14%) is nicely integrated and the middle palate is solid. It closes with a tart, dry finish. Give this one some time in the cellar. It has a dense core of beautiful fruit and the structure to match. Drink 2020-2035.
