March 15, 2013 - Red with a brownish hue. Showing it's age. Funky barnyard nose. Old world style. Notes of maple syrup, underbrush and tar. On the lean side. I would recommend drinking this if you have any. First time I have scored a barolo from this producer under 90 points. 88-89 points.

December 30, 2012 - Agree that it's a old world style. Went ok with spagheti /meatballs but nothing special on it's own. Fruit almost gone - might have been better 2-3 years ago.

September 5, 2012 - The nose showed dark red berries, spice box, dark chocolate and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it was soft with a diluted feel, showing tart red fruit, cedar and angular tannins. The finish showed fading red berries.

January 18, 2012 - It's at it's peak. Beautifully balanced. Tannins almost completely resolved. Good length and pleasant acidity on finish. Bouquet difficult to describe but reminds me of stewed plums but with some sweetness and complexity.

January 15, 2012 - Some leather on the nose and I agree with the comments that it's an old world style. Paired well with pasta with vegetable red sauce. My wife caught the prune taste also but to me it was very earthy. Ready now, I'll be drinking the rest of mine this year.
