  January 22, 2022 - My notes from Dec 2017:
  Very pale and see through, just like a Pinot. On the nose I get crushed cherry, strawberry and slate. Kinda like Pinot! On the palate it’s different, much more brooding than lets on. The flavor profile is more strawberry but I get a dark fruit note as well. Tannins are grippy and give the wine a juicy mouthfeel. The finish is generous with dark fruits coming through on its medium length. This wine needs a bit of time, 2019-2027. It gets 91 points from me and for the $45 list price- a 4 star effort.
  Tasted again Jan 2022- similar notes, but the sour cherry notes typical of the varietal were very present. My original drinking window remains. A very serviceable Barolo.

  April 28, 2021 - Sour cherries, leather, tobacco, and spice box on the nose. Red fruit, tannins, and tight acidity with a lasting finish
