December 29, 2023 - Absolutely fine; but quite 2 dimensional at this stage. This did not wow or particularly develop in layers or flavours or intensity - despite several hours in the glass. Light tannins. If I may say, not very Barolo-like compared with the many other Barolos I have tried. First time tasting Elio Grasso; I have a number of wines in bond so I am hoping it is just this vintage or the particular stage of development of this wine.

April 27, 2023 - I perfekt balans nu. Strävheten medel för en barolo (dvs hög). Har inte testat årgången tidigare och efter att läst professionella recensioner med några år på nacken hade jag förväntat mig något kraftigare, kryddigare, "balsamiskt". Men här och nu är den lugn och väldigt elegant, på gränsen till sluten - men efter tid i glaset släpper den ifrån sig en komplex och relativt intensiv mix av alla klassiska nebbioloaromer. Helt enkelt utmärkt. Drick nu eller 6-7 framåt är min gissning.
