  June 14, 2022 - LWS Barolo Through the Decades: Double decanted about one hour before serving. Transparent garent. Raisins, leather, and rose on the nose. Full bodied, with medium-to-medium-plus acid, and medium-plus grippy tannins. Brandied cherries, vanilla, with fruit becoming more prominent with air. Thick. A bit too heavy for my taste but very good for what it is.

  January 30, 2021 - This is probably the best bottle so far of several I bought at the estate in the early 00s. It is more suave, gracious and better integrated than my TN indicates of a bottle 3+ years ago whilst at the same time as keeping charactistic Barolo aromas of mature dark fruit, rose petals, tar and anise. Body was medium++, texture quite silky and backbone ripe but sufficiently firm. Excellent.

  January 2, 2019 - Orange, hazlenut, dried flowers, sour red berries on the nose. Palate is silky, acid still present but not biting, tannins are mouth filling but smooth. Long finish, perhaps at its peak or maybe slightly on the decline. Enjoyable.

  July 30, 2017 - A nice robust Barolo with quite deep ruby colour and slight bricking at the rim. Aromas on the nose were expressive with a noticeable anise content and and the palate was medium full bodied showing dark fruit infused with red rose, more anise and a little tar, fresh acidity and quite firm backbone. Very Good.
