May 2, 2024 - I agree that there is a Barbaresco feel to this Barolo. Sweet sour cherry, cedar and leather. I would give it a year or two to see where it goes.

March 3, 2024 - Still 91, but better than last time. 1 hr decant. Sweet feminine style. More barbaresco. Acidity still present, but moving to background. Wouldn’t stand up to strong food like steak with garlic souce. We have it with Marulo pasta with onion olives anchovies sauce.

December 6, 2023 - Dark garnet, notes of dark cherry, leather, black liquorice, fine dusty tannins, very high acidity, dark cocoa finish. Body structure surprisingly thin.
