March 17, 2024 - Color (13/15): Ruby red with rusty / cloudy complexion
Aroma (19/20): Floral notes with some wet leather and raisin
Palate (25/30): Bright red berry with some cherry notes in the mid-palate with a little burn on the finish (14.5% alcohol on label might be a little low?).
Overall: 32/35): I really enjoyed the nose and the front of the palate but as it opened the middle/late palate transitioned to raisin / stewed fruit with a bit of an alcohol burn. -

October 7, 2023 - Deep ruby. Flowery herb nose. Dried plum and flint on palate. Excellent body, needs time. Has a solid 10 years to go.

March 13, 2022 - Soft and sexy, the vintage speaks here, plenty of toast and cocao, but this remains a well structured wine. Still young IMHO, but certainly approachable. 91+

June 17, 2021 - Nice wine, on the feminine side. Not my style, Brad rated it higher 91-92. Not something I would seek out, I have 1 more bottle that I will give 5 years.

January 16, 2021 - Very good Barolo, better than my note from 3 years ago. Leather, cedar, a hint of oak and bourbon with a long finish. Better after a few hrs open, different but not really better on day 2. The wine shows what a Barolo can be, but I don't get the layers of complexity and very high scores of other reviewers.
