December 4, 2021 - Sixteenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Inovasi - Lake Bluff IL): Bonus bottle to go with risotto course with white truffles. Sadly this came across as lightly dirty. At first i thought there was brett, but others managed to convince me instead there was volatile acidity.

April 20, 2021 - 1 hour upon opening serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Leaf” day): Pale ruby to the eyes.
Mushroom and undergrowth in a very nice way. Florals and spices. Very complete wine here.
Superbly mineral driven. Superbly silky in texture and wonderfully flavourful on palate.
94-95 points. -

November 2, 2017 - Light brown with interesting sour plum palate, some depth. Tarry, licorice aromatics.

May 25, 2017 - Dinner @ Bar-A-Thym
Smells of "autumn", a tinge of forest-floor & leather, this also had that slight sweetness & tea-leaves notes that great old Barolos exhibit. However, this never quite reach the height of those great Barolos like the Rinaldis & Giacomo Conternos did that I could recall. Overall, a nice, aged wine... -

February 19, 2016 - Vino rilassato, da bere in poltrona davanti al camino. Tannini risolti, bocca dolce, morbida e appagante, persistenza notevole.
