    March 1, 2024 - (14.5% Alkohol) Granatrot, erste Reifetöne. Feinduftige Nase, Kirschkompott, Kräuter, Tee, getrocknete Veilchen, ein Hauch von Waldboden. Im Gaumen kräftig, auf den Punkt gereift, feine Tannine, top verpackte Säure. Würzig, rotfruchtig und lang im Abgang. Dieser Barolo ist in einem sehr schönen Trinkfenster, Reserven bis 2033+, 92 vvPunkte

    February 25, 2024 - On first opening it was a not dissimilar profile to La Serra, but with that extra punch betraying it’s Montforte heritage, very much roses and sort of red fruits (dried, preserved) and furniture polish (I get this a lot with Nebbiolo, and I like it, so go figure). It then passed through a phase of becoming specifically sour red cherries.

    On hour three it’s much denser in texture/mouthfeel, and weightier, with the acidity seeming more prominent, and that tar/liquorice profile peeping out. As with just about every 2010 I’ve had, this is built for the ages. I’m more a fan of the style of '08 and '13, but there’s little doubting it’s a vintage for the ages.

    Excellent value.

    August 8, 2023 - You must give this at least 2 hours of air time before drinking.
    Opens up gradually but elegantly - all the best Barolo characteristics in balance. Probably in its best drinking window right now!

    April 19, 2023 - This is drinking beautifully. I slow ox’d for two hours, quick decanted, and drank over three. I would buy more of these if I could. Nice QPR. Still plenty of life left, but very drinkable now.

    September 25, 2022 - Fruity Barolo: cherry, leather, red fruit, cigar box, dried flowers, light body, dry long finish.
