  November 24, 2022 - Wow, this was great. Old wines can obviously be very hit or miss, but this was stored perfectly and presented very well.

  November 21, 2022 - Good, not great. A bit tired (but suffered from being next to the 85 Giacosa). Still, good, pleasant, lots of acidity, slight oxidation, red fruit, a myriad of tertiary, if slight, flavors.

  April 27, 2019 - Unanimous wine of the night. Shy nose of raspberry pastille and pressed roses, but what a palate! Despite all of the tannin having faded away, this is almost architectural in its structure, like it has chiseled shape and definition and mouthwatering acidity without having any particularly notable flavor. Really enjoyable.

  April 25, 2019 - Fantastic. Fully mature yet retaining lots of vigor. Beautiful bouquet of cinnamon, mulling spices, ferrous parent materials, leather. The palate is suave with a layered, bright, sappy mouthfeel and a sensationally long and lingering finish. So good. 94-95 pts.

  June 27, 2013 - Sammensatt duft av rødebær, mørke kirsebær, skråtobakk (oliver twist), også tilstede her er animalske toner og streif av lakris og urter. Saftig i munn med slank moden tekstur.
