  July 29, 2020 - From our cellar. PNP, drank over 3 hours. Excellent. Mature, textbook barolo. Ruby color, dried flowers on the nose. Smooth texture, med-light bodied. Red berries, plum, mineral, herbs. Lovely, but not overly complex. Solid wine from a solid producer.

  March 31, 2018 - 1996 PIO CESARE BAROLO- a blend of 4 different prime sites in the Barolo zone, each contributing its unique qualities to the final blend; most come from the Ornato vineyard, which contributes about 65% of the final blend; this fabulous wine got us off on the right foot for the reds; the colour was medium dark red, the nose had that wonderful Nebbiolo fragrance which continued on and was perceived as spice, leather, chocolate and coffee laden black currant and black raspberry; it had really nice acidity, complexity and length and was delivered in soft and smooth texture; I`d been happy to just have this one wine.
