  June 11, 2022 - This exceeded my expectations from a not very stellar vintage. It was medium+ bodied with expressive aromas on both nose and palate of griotte cherry, rose petal, tar and balsam with a certain roundness and depth, lively acidity and good backbone. With lamb stew in a tomato laced sauce and French beans, the balance was very good but the last glass after the food became a bit acidic. Very good though.

  October 17, 2015 - It's '95 Barolo, always good but hardly ever great. In the end, it's drinking beautifully with lots of caking tart cherry fruit, dried spice, cedar and earth. The acidity is in your face but welcome since there's still a remnant of tarry tannin. Great for drinking now, but don't see it improving much over time.

  September 8, 2013 - This wine showed up in my Drink Soon list with end date 2011...While not quite at the end of its useful life, the wine is beginning to brick on its edges. Nose is classic Barolo and there is still fruit on the attack...Drinking nicely now, especially with a juicy filet. However I am glad I'm not sitting on a case as I don't believe it evolves positively from here.
