July 2, 2019 - - Garnet color - Powerful dry tannins. Needs decanting, but with time evolves into a balanced Barolo with rich but dry red cherry, leather, tar, and oak. Drinking well now but just entering its prime drinking window. 14% abv.

January 19, 2019 - Blind tasting for my guests. Superb nose (after 30 min of decanting) of dust, sap, brown honey and old cupboard. Mouth well structured, without signs of age. Full of juice verries and nobleness. Long aftertaste with an usual bitterness of bloody orange. Superb. Even if nebbiolo is not my favourite.
