  November 20, 2023 - Outstanding. Decanted off ample sediment into a decanter 1 hour in advance, aerating back into bottle before serving. Everything still in balance for full maturity. Not over the hill. Delivered lots of sighs of contentment.

  October 1, 2015 - Color is dark, very dark for a 20 year old with almost no rim. There are some dried fruits, tea leaf, tobacco, leather, tree moss, dead roses and violets on the nose. Tannins are a third of its age, very alive. It is full bodied, dusty, and rustic. I would definitely not call it elegant but it is complex. Acid is medium-high. Mid length finish.
  This wine is right in the center for me. It’s a blend between classic and modern. You can feel some barrique in it but at the same time, there is sense of place.
  
  On day two, the nose is exploding with truffle and the tannins have subsided. Raising one point. 90PTS.

  September 1, 2014 - This was made in an old-world style, and has notes of dried cherries, violets and iron leading to a dry and medium finish; There are some sneaky tannins that are still very present; Very refined and elegant

  July 13, 2014 - A few commented on how dark this was for a Barolo. Dark fruits, black tea nose. Tannic monster, could wait for this a bit longer, but it was still very enjoyable.
