  April 11, 2024 - Leather, mint, cherry, rose, , earthy undertones on the nose. Earthy tart cherry palate, med+ finish. Excellent balance. Not the greatest Giacosa but a perfectly satisfying one. In a good place now. After a couple of hours more roses, more fruit, also more tannins and sheer energy in this wine. Showing increased depth, a lot out of a lesser vintage wine.

  July 10, 2023 - Now this is a barbaresco built for the long haul, still quite fresh, dare I say maybe too young? But opened over a couple hours in the decanter. Amazing nose of roses and cherry. Power and elegance here.

  December 5, 2022 - On day two and has developed that beef stew like aroma. Still has primary fruit, present and clear on the palate. Forceful. On day two so no

  January 14, 2022 - Pale ruby with a slightly tawny rim. Feels quite restrained on the nose - maybe a bit cold, there’s a bit of red fruit and tar. The palate is still dominated by the tannins, there’s lots of grip and good acidity. Underneath that there’s cherry fruit and a little floral character that appears with time. Good intensity of flavour. Via Coravin.

  November 8, 2021 - Pale ruby coloured with a big tarry nose, there’s a touch of alcohol there, some red cherry with time in the glass and maybe a hint of oak. Powerful but fine tannins dominate the palate, well balanced by the acidity and some lovely sour cherry fruits. Feels very well balanced with good intensity and length of flavour. Via Coravin.
