April 18, 2024 - From 75cl, good cork, decanted 1 hour (which it needed), continued to open up and improve until final drop. As previously noted; in a better place than a year ago. No hurry at all. 89-90P
August 9, 2023 - Need 5 more years
July 25, 2023 - Got some air while still in the bottle. Fresh red fruits, some liquirice or slight herbs, still fresh tanins. Good glass
July 21, 2023 - Redo att drickas tidigt. Väldigt mogen och härlig redan idag
July 17, 2023 - Served blind - guessed Chianti Classico 2015.
Quite deep red, quite ripe fruit, cherries, tobacco. Not that high in tannins.
July 14, 2023 - Deep translucent red. Slate and pencil w. ripe red fruit, black currant and bell pepper. Intense, medium acidity and medium+ tannins. Fleshy red and black fruit, kirsch and hints of tobacco and eucalyptus. Seems still quite young. Good but leave for now.
July 2, 2023 - From 75cl, good cork, double decanted 2 hours. Light-bodied, super-clean Nebbiolo in excellent balance, just lacking the oomph (fruit, acid, tannins, guts...) to stand up to dry-aged beef from the grill. Probably a better match with porcini risotto or something subtle with truffle oil? 89P
June 16, 2023 - Very enjoyable - serious yet approachable Barolo. All the usual hallmarks of roses, tar, earth, red cherry. Very pretty and drinkable profile, especially considering the 2016 vintage. Will be interesting how these bottles show with real age, but I think they do just great for early drinking which fills a certain niche for Barolos.
March 3, 2023 - Uhuhhh... I hate when you cant decide if a bottle is flawed or not.... Here it was completely devoid of all acid. To the point beyond where it just felt flat - this felt like "Nebbiolo water". I marked this as flawed and I hope this is not representative of how this wine is progressing (other TNs seem to point in that direction). Need to retaste soon.
January 28, 2023 - Tannins aren’t hiding. incredibly expressive nose followed by deep florals at first taste, hint of asphalt. Should round into something terrific. Enjoyable already.
