January 6, 2024 - WSET L2 - Sessions 1/2
Very pale garnet, some red fruit showing on the nose - leaning toward dried fruits. Some potpourri like floral notes, strong notes of chorizo (smoke, herbs, earth/savoury qualities). Dry and high acidity, with lots of tannin. High, plesantly warming alcohol. Long finish.
Personal favourite of the day. Would love to return to with food.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 6, 2023 - Medium reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & mulberries with overtones of floral notes of roses & earthy/dusty notes, spices, herbs, mushrooms & minerals scents in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, strawberries & pomegranate with herbs, spices & minerals. Lingering finish. Although it is presently accessible with decanting & extended airing, it will definitely benefit & develop further with additional aging.

November 26, 2022 - Nose of rose and spices.
On the palate, it is the archetype of Barolo: dense, spicy, but very fresh thanks to a good balance. This elegant and above all structured, black fruit on blackberry berries, then spice and finally a very stony side. The finish is still narrow because of its youth, but the length, floral, is already very good.
A good Barolo which will gain in serenity with age.

November 7, 2022 - Tasted at a charity tasting event sponsored by a large NJ retailer. Light to medium ruby, strong on acidity and tannin but in balance and not obtrusive despite its youth. Loaded with cherries, rose petals and a touch of earthy mushroom. Very long on the finish. Very "pretty" and elegant especially for a normale. This producer always seems to deliver a good wine vintage after vintage.
