    September 24, 2023 - No formal notes. Young and still pretty closed. Cherry, underbrush, and smoke on the nose. Super tannic still on the palate. Hold.

    December 22, 2022 - Big bouquet, 14.5% abv, decanted for sediment, tannic but great fruit makes for a great combo, beautiful red color for a wine 16 years old, good balance, drank with my pizza and salad, would drink again but won’t find, a nice example of an aged barolo.

    November 3, 2022 - Black fruits, tar and licorice. Drinking well, but still plenty of fruit and structure to cruise along in the cellar. Enjoyed it.

    October 29, 2020 - Approachably tannic, dark fruit, licorice and delicious. Wish I had more. Long finish.

    December 26, 2019 - Do not touch. This was a tannic beast. I will wait 10 years to open my remaining bottle. I look forward to that date, though!
