October 28, 2023 - A big, leathery barolo that combines the dark fruits with a lot of barrel influence. This is drinking decently, but perhaps due to bottle variation, I'm not getting the complexity in the secondary flavors. Feels a bit muddled at its current point in time.

April 25, 2022 - Entering maturity, broad shoulders, at times compelling, classic aromatics, but a little fussy and tart after being open a few hours. Fine grained sediment.

December 2, 2021 - A little light in structure, but besides that a pretty classic expression of Nebbiolo (a hot expression however). Medium+ tannins and acidity. It delivers cherries, blackberries, rose petals, some black currant, a hint of tar and menthol. A quite hot vintage in Piemonte, which probably have an effect on the freshness of the wine. At least I prefer Nebbiolo with a fresher profile. However, it drinks quite well at this point, but can probably be saved for a couple of years as well. I wouldn’t say it’s a wine for the long run though. Decent balance in general, but lacking a little when it comes to the length. All in all a good wine and a 92.

September 21, 2021 - Belle évolution par rapport à la bouteille précédente.
Les mêmes aromes (cassis, groseilles, girofles, tabac blond) auquel s'ajoutent en ouverture les pruneaux et sur la finale le thé noir. C'est beaucoup de bon en concentré!2 people found this helpful Comment -
