  March 23, 2013 - Académie des Cinquante Piemonte tasting (Restaurant De Burgemeester *, Linschoten, Netherlands): Fully mature appearance; on the nose very tertiary, earthy, with notes of lovage and a whiff of gunpowder, good depth and freshness, vestiges of fruit; on the palate well-balanced, gentle but with lovely Barbera-acidity, good weight; very good length.

  November 24, 2012 - Again a magnum bottle :)
  No aging notes, kork was perfect, wonderfull wine!
  Broader, sweeter, younger than the 1997 magnum.
  Although this is the better wine on first glance, I would rate it like the 1997 - Barbera can handle the hotter years like 1997 and it seems to prolong its livespan. This wine is a bit less elegant that 1997.
  Flipside of the coin: more sex - this 99er is sexy, my girlfriend likes it :)

  December 24, 2011 - Complex, yet balanced. Not your typical in-your-face Sangiovese. I like how it changes taste as it breathes.
