September 24, 2023 - Even at twelve years, this still requires a 45-minute decant; lots of dressed up gloppy oak and alcohol, which needs some air to settle down. Displays a medium garnet color, and a full body. Opens with black cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, red licorice, pine forest, and wood spice. Chewy tannin is still notable with medium acidity. Finishes big. Enjoyed with stacked cheese ravioli and pork bolognese sauce. Drink with decanting, or hold through 2030.

September 11, 2023 - Opening with dark fruit notes, mature and with a hint of balsamic notes. Secondary notes emerging strongly.
In the mouth the first impression is velvet, quite soft, tannins fully integrated and acidity on the low side. Medium finish.
Not very complex but well made on asifficult vintage.
Drink now, I don't think that waiting for an evolution of the tertiary notes will compensate the mouth which is past peak due to the (lack of) acidity of the vintage. -

March 5, 2023 - Heady nose of pine forest floor, ripe cherries, rosemary and pressed flowers. Med-full bodied and lightly tannic with a slightly washed-out palate, this is a fine tipple but not a grand Barolo. Fully mature, this should be consumed soon 90
