February 14, 2021 - Farge: Litt mørk murstein, med lys kant
Duft: Halvtørr kjeller
Smak: Tok lang tid å åpne seg, selv etter dekantering.
Kraftige, godt rundene tanniner. Surkirsenær, kreke og krekling. Kraftig!
Dag 2
Duft: Gamle fat og hint av mørkerød frukt. Lær?
Smak: Kraftige tanniner, god syre. Noe morken ved, kreke og krekling.
Fortsatt kraftig. God -

Everything sits together seamlessly, fruit is alive and complex, Serralunga minerals drawing you towards the dark side, the acidity putting up a fight to keep you in the light, tannins are rounded and add to a serious length. Wonderful with a risotto full of autumn chanterelles and just as good for after. Powerful but still easy to drink. Consider me seduced.

February 1, 2019 - At 15, this is still too young but has clear potential. Tar, roses, bright cherries, but absolutely monster structure that needs another 10 year to resolve. Perfect balance, but a monstrous tannic wall makes this difficult to sip without rich braised meats. This is textbook Barolo.

November 27, 2018 - Barolo dinner at Zucca. Showed very well, typical nose, ripe but still plentiful tannins, already approachable with food. Very good.
