  November 23, 2023 - Tasted at the winery.
  Nice depth and some complexity, but even with this we felt that it needs (much) more time.
  Pretty incredible how slowly these Barolos age: the actual vintage on the market, 2019's wines are in fact 4 year old already and still so raw one would think they are barrel samples from 2022 or so.
  This 2015 felt in terms of maturity like 2020-s or even 2021-s do from other wine regions.
  Out tasting group tought this wine will be at its peak in 8-10 years.
  Today: good but not great.

  October 29, 2023 - Same as last time, except this bottle didn't survive an hour in a wide-bottomed carafe. The fruit acid, and tannins were good for the first hour, then the tannins started to take over. This didn't happen with the last bottle. Interesting how these bottles differ from time to time.

  October 22, 2023 - Dark garnet in color, this wine has great balance. Drank PnP it blossomed after 45 minutes in a carafe and consistently improved over another 60 minutes when we drank it all. Of course the last drop was the best. More air, I think, would have improved it.
  
  A dark garnet in color, with a light nose of stewed cherries, garrigue, menthol, a hint of forest floor and roasted meats. The palate repeats the nose. The wine as medium body with perfectly integrated acid and fruit with a slight exaggeration of tannins (a bit more air might fix that minor flaw). ABV 14.5%.
  
  This wine was paired with roasted beet salad, pappardella with butter sauce and white truffles, and venison loin in mushroom sauce. All I can say is Sigh.
