  August 6, 2022 - A little flat, medium low tannin, maintains its dusty earthy quality h it I would drink now if this is in your cellar

  December 18, 2021 - Paired with a straightforward meat sauce on rigatoni, this worked very well indeed. Well-balanced, with hints of tobacco, menthol, and forest floor. A pleasing, lower-cost Barolo. I'd be happy to have more.

  December 12, 2021 - Dinner with friends. Decanted about 4 hours before serving with pane bianco and Sunday gravy. Overwhelmed by the red sauce. A little bit of a letdown with medium intensity (but correct) aromatics and fruit that is tasting a bit dried. The structure is still tight knit but accessible with air. will hold through 2028+, though I am not sure I would dedicate the cellar space. Inferior showing to the last bottle, very good 87.

  April 29, 2021 - Follow-up note: Seemed a bit overextracted and tight this time, but it was paired with a difficult dish: spinach and ricotta gnocchi in tomato cream sauce. Would work better as a pairing later in the meal or with a more straightforward dish.

  February 27, 2021 - Moderately saturated garnet color, hints of bricking, but a clear edge. Nose hints of cherry, menthol, maybe a bit of tobacco. Vivid acidity, grippy tannins, and fairly restrained fruit, again hinting at cherries. Longish finish. Decent as a companion to moderately ambitious cooking, but not a standout Barolo.
