  April 1, 2022 - Festa del Piemonte: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): On the heels of some just crazy wines and so this was in a tough spot. It's on the young side. I get more oak here. Probably not quite ready and not quite as compelling as some of the wines that came before.

  April 8, 2017 - Opera Wine 2017 - 100 Great Producers (Verona, Italy): { OperaWine2017, Verona } Was not expecting this to be quite as good as it was. In fact, I kind of had to do a double-take, in the best of ways. Deep and rich, but with a gentle, confident stream of acids that lifts generous layers of red/dark-red fruits in a way that just saturates the palate in waves of pleasure. Something of a savory touch to this that resonates, adds individuality. I liked it a lot. Low scores may keep the secondary prices low on this, which means you have a serious opportunity for a big win should you find some at auction. recommended+. No need to wait, this is ready now (though I can't say how long before the event Valter had opened the bottle) and for the next 6-8 years.

  November 28, 2011 - A bit disappointing. Perhaps drank at an awkward stage in its development. Translucent, red-brown hue. Berry & earth aromas leaping out of the glass at first. Blew off after 30 minutes to a more restrained nose of red berries, tobacco, chocolate. Too bright and acidic on the palate. Lacking the seriousness and gravitas present when tasted at the estate 2 years ago. Medium dry, medium long, sweet tannins at the finish. Needs to come together and regain its weight. The potential for excellence is there in the strong fruit flavors. Scored as it is drinking now.

  November 10, 2010 - Monthly Tasting Group HWS #052; Italy: Barolo vs. Barbaresco (By RvD): Complex bouquet with spices and earthy impressions. Very juicy; even cassis. Concentrated and full bodied. Some licorice. Youthful and soft tannin. Really a beautiful wine with a long future.
