January 16, 2024 - Open for two hours before consumption. Translucent garnet red with a whitening rim. Beguiling nose of cherries, but most importantly olive paste, tomato leaf and clove later on. Extremely balanced mouth feel where everything is in place. Great showing and just a joy to drink.

January 15, 2024 - Absolutely beautiful. Red fruit, flowers, and already so resolved and fine. This is already drinking so well, but I can only imagine will continue to improve over the next 5-10 years.

September 17, 2023 - Superbe Barolo encore très jeune, acidité et tannins + accompagné d'un bouquet florale, de canneberge, cerise fraiche, un vin profond qui possède un grand potentiel. Excellent maintenant et magnifique dans 10 ans.

September 5, 2023 - Gorgeous lifted nose, classic barolo in the elegant style, roses, herbs, crystalline pure fruit.
On the palate this is beautifully elegant, the herbal quality comes through, there is some black fruit there very discreetly.
Finish is fresh, lifted, aromatic.
A perfumed elgant style of Barolo that I like a lot.
The 11 drunk just before (didn’t get a chance to write a note) was equally lovely, a little prettier but less robust as you’d expect from the vintages. -

August 9, 2023 - Aerated for 4 hours and decanted before pouring. Red center with tawny edge. Subtle, enticing, laid back aromas of cherry and tobacco leaf. Light to medium weight. Supple, lively tart red fruit, a smidgen of herb, excellent citric acidity, and gradually rising tarry tannins. Another lovely, relatively open 2012, although the back end structure suggests that it will go on for a while. Very similar to my impression in 2017.
