August 15, 2021 - Quite aromatic, loaded with licorice, baked black cherries, herbs de Provence and blackberry compote. As is typical for this winery, this was tight and tannic upon opening but an two hours in the decanter has opened it considerably. Full-bodied and still quite tannic, but on an open frame with loads of sweet black fruits, kirsh, a hint of black olive and spice. This is in fine shape and will likely make it to age 25 without undue degradation! Drink now-2028 93

July 30, 2018 - Big, dark, ripe, chocolate, medium acidity, medium (+) tannins and high alcohol. Still hedonistic, with many years left. Further proof that 2005 is an amazing vintage in France.

June 3, 2017 - About 2 hour decant, not much nose but drank very well. Very well like by the group. I like the 1996 fontanafredda barolo better but I am a barolo guy, others liked this better. I have to say that this bottle was much better than the one I drank 2 or 3 of years ago. Nice wine that had a lot of life. licorice, spice and a hint of orange peel.
