December 7, 2017 - This dark beast of a wine is like a time capsule, looking back to Luca's first attempts with the Ravera cru. It showed an exuberant and layered bouquet of ripe black fruit, spiced cherry, licorice, sage, and crushed stone. On the palate, velvety textures were contrasted by depths of minerality, spice and brisk acidity, as dried black cherry, violets and sweet tobacco swept across the senses. It finished incredibly long, as it shook off it's rich textures, leaving hints of resolved tannin, with notes of tobacco and dark inner floral tones. This may not be Luca's ideal expression of Ravera, or even my preferred style of Barolo, but it's still one hell of a wine. Plus, with a good decant, it really opens up beautifully.

February 28, 2015 - Decanted for 3 hours....this wine is absolutely STUNNING!!!! Traditional Barolo with a big, concentrated mid-palate, and a long, lingering finish...
This wine is just starting to open up....good thing I have a few bottles of it left in the cellar to enjoy over the next 5-10 years!
