January 28, 2022 - Le premier jour, le vin me décoit. J'y trouve un côté trop rustique, vieille futaille.
Le lendemain et surtout le surlendemain, le vin s'est équilibré, a pris du volume et le goût de "vieille barrique" qui me gênait le premier jour a disparu.
Au final, un vin satisfaisant si on lui laisse le temps de s'ouvrir ! -

March 9, 2020 - Good not great Barolo. Drink these in the next 5 years. Needed 45 minutes of air to open up. The tannins are present, but not that strong. Finishes a bit on the astringent side. Also had a hint of VA initially that blew off.
