  January 3, 2022 - Another flawed wine from Binny's. Had it in the cellar for 5 years to find that out.

  March 5, 2020 - Medium Dark in color. Typical Nebb. in the nose. Taste is fresh , challenging , and a bit dry.
  Still a very nice Barolo and not typical La Morra as you taste it. More Castig. Fall. style...
  We liked it a lot

  March 26, 2017 - Medium garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of red cherries, currants & strawberries with overtones of earthy, dusty & floral notes of roses, mint, dried herbs, minerals & cedar in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of red sweet red cherries & strawberries & with herbs, earthiness, spices & minerals. Lingering finish. Although it appears to be readily accessible at present with decanting & airing, it should benefit and develop further with additional aging.
