  February 24, 2024 - Textbook fine barolo. Even with its bottle age and after a 3-hour decant. It started off very tight. It did open up over time to show grilled herbs alongside the classic tar and roses. The last glass was the best. Feels like it’s holding back some of its secrets, and I expect there’s some upside from here.

  July 16, 2023 - Black cherry, tar, camphor. Medium plus acidity and high tannins. Opened up very nicely over time. Long finish. Enjoyable now. Hold 2-3 years minimum.

  January 26, 2023 - Not scoring as this wine was very shut down despite a three-hour decant and did not improve on day two. Beautiful floral nose but simply nothing doing on the palate. Purchased at auction last year in light of other reviews, I suspect this might be a victim of poor storage. I will hold my remaining bottles for another year at least before trying again.
