February 29, 2024 - The nose is quite light with bright red fruit, roses, and red cherries. High acidity with tart red fruit, good structure but integrated tannins, some earthy notes, forest floor, and strawberry on the palate. Long finish. Excellent wine and much brighter compared to the 96 next to it, although also not quite as balanced or complex.

February 3, 2024 - Needs a bit of air to show best, but this bottle seems to be drinking at peak right now. Not sure this has the legs to improve for the very long haul, but its drinking really well today.

January 29, 2024 - Barolo doesn't get much better than this. Iconic winery, old school producer (now deceased), fantastic vintage, and special bottling (Riserva). Bottle was well stored, popped 2 hours before decanting (per CT user advice), then decanted for 1 hour, poured and then..... the magic happened. Consumed at Carmine's in Bellevue with Felix and Elizabeth. This score is consistent with the two bottles i have opened previously (2017, 2019). Can not say enough about this producer. Wish I had more.....

November 18, 2023 - Outstanding work by Giacosa in 2000 to harness the warmth of the vintage to create a classic wine with such longevity. More depth and harmony than the also very good Asili Riserva tasted side by side. Right in the middle of a peak window.

November 18, 2023 - Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VIII (Chicago, IL): #0167. Opened at 8am, decanted for 45 minutes at 4pm. Beautiful, nascently mature nebbiolo with a decent mouthful of tannin still. The fruit is a mix of red and black and for my taste, this has much more breadth and power than the arguably more elegant Asili. But I liked this wine for its overt power and stature, even though I'm certain there's more upside with age.
