July 7, 2019 - Impressively, this bottle for the first 15 minutes was even more complex and longer on the palate than the 10/19/14 bottle. After the 15 minutes, the wine gradually lost some freshness and fruit. Drink up!

August 14, 2016 - Runder gereifter Barolo. Wirklich klasse. Auch wenn er ist so komplex war wie erwartet ist es einfach ein schöner Wein, der genau richtig trinkreif ist. Klasse!

February 27, 2015 - A reticent nose with a subtle elegance, bright red fruit and red flowers. Medium body and medium acidity, with a core of red cherry fruit and dried mushroom on the palate. For a semi-modernist, this drinks like a burgundy, well done.
