April 28, 2019 - Wow! this has turned into one of the best Barolos I have tasted. Super inviting nose, all of the autumnal notes together with fruits of the forest and complexity and length that is more like a port. Just fantastic and shows what happens when wines like this are left to full maturity

May 8, 2016 - Even better. Real wow factor now. I'll risk leaving the last three for another 2-3 years

November 8, 2014 - Very elegant, balanced, and refined. Dark fruits and increasing elements of spice as the wine aerates. Long subtle finish of pepper and spice.

September 28, 2014 - See GODX below. However after 2 more years this has developed wonderfully. Just really good complex rich Nebbiolo which has benefitted from 16 years which is a pretty good estimate of what these wines need to really show their true potential.

July 11, 2013 - this bottle was wonderful sweet tannins perfectly melded with just a touch of balsamic reduction and vibrant dusty cherries. Real good stuff and held up over 2 days. Actually got better.

Rockss and Fruit

By Lyle Fass
12/12/2002 (link)(Corino Barolo "Vigneto Giachini") Dissapointed in this wine. Very aromatic nose of leather, black fruits, cough syrup, chestnuts, cake, oak and tar. Chunky and concentrated but a little hot and very obviously "new school' Barolo. So much fruit but not much excitement. Maybe time will mellow this out.
