    December 10, 2023 - Pnp. Improved over 4 hours. Repoper nailed it. It's beautiful right now. Subtle fruit along with savory umami. It rounder and more elegant over time. It's what I look for in a youthful Barolo. Fantastic wine. It went up against a $250 Napa cab and, while different, held its own.

    December 1, 2023 - What a different experience. This bottle is spot on Nebbiolo. Classic profile of strawberries, a hint of tar, some animal funk,rose and orange rind. It’s a simple but berry enjoyable Nebbiolo. Great complement for home made sausage in red sauce.

    September 27, 2023 - First of my six. For $25 I don’t expect too much. Open d early in the day and then decanted for several hours. Pleasant enough but nothing special. Would not rebuy but for the tariff it’s ok. A few hours on it’s starting to reveal its Piedmont roots. This probably needs several more years to shine.

    May 31, 2023 - Solid 10 year barolo. Classic flavor profile but without a significant layer of depth. Perfect to drink now without much fuss. Easy going and ready.

    March 3, 2023 - Dark garnet color. Nose featured classic aromas of rose, lavender, and cranberry. Palate was medium bodied and balanced to match the ethereal perfume. A very nice wine, balanced and fruity. NOt to tannic, but with the stiffing to stand up to steak! Very nice indeed!
