Monday, June 22, 2020 - This was a wonderful bottle of Barolo, still very young. Personally, unless money is no object, I am unable to see paying the absurd amount of money needed to aquire this, but yes, it is very good indeed. Lots of typical Barolo notes, although on a fairly big frame. It's not a bruiser, but is quite a bit wine.

Just a curiosity: when you talk about "the absurd amount of money" exactly what do you mean? Here in Italy in the wine shop costs 130 euros that would be 110 dollars at the exchange rate. Did you pay much more?
Greetings from Italy

In this case, I was thinking about the difference in pricing in general between single vineyards, luxery cuvees, etc. I am under the impression that in many cases, and many vintages, I have a hard time justifying the cost from a consumers perspective. I personally would rather spend $50 for the regular Barolo than $175 (what it costs for me) for this. Obviously, the cost of things are incredibly subjective though.
