May 14, 2022 - Wonderful. Rich so rich but still so distinctively Barolo - loads of tar some rose petals. Black fruits. High acidity and tannin but plenty of fruit to balance the structure. Sooo long and complex. Drink now, will last but don't wait.

And it’s still convincingly fresh and vibrant. It can easily last at least 5 more years without declining but for me, it’s at it’s peak now!

June 28, 2018 - At a really good stage right now. Dense and intense and still very well balanced. Impressive effort - but then again..... that's Gaja for you!

Tannic. Needed a few more years -
