  January 21, 2016 - This wine has turned another corner. Our last couple of bottles were not terribly enjoyable, but this one had transformed into a much better balanced wine with great ripe fruits, and a mellowed acidity. This is what i expected from this wine when i purchased a case more than a decade ago... Have one more bottle left, and won't wait.

  July 27, 2014 - Definitely a better bottle than last time. Initial notes of ripe fruits, caramel and chocolate while maintaining its high acid and tannin structure. After two hours in the decanter, most of the fruit qualities have faded away along with most of the nuances of this wine. Pop and enjoy right away, but be aware of crazy amounts of sediments!

  March 17, 2014 - I could not have guessed that this was a Barbaresco. Interesting notes of seaweed, tobacco, and dirt. Not too much fruit remain. Will try another bottle to see if there are bottle variations.

  March 14, 2013 - Blind Tasting 2000 Barbarescos and Random Nebbiolos (Tom's House, Palo Alto, CA): Black fruit and tar on the nose. Tart cherry, prominent tannin, medium+ acidity. Lots of good stuff here but disjointed. Needs time. (my 3rd, group's 3rd)
