  Best on the first night, with notes of black cherry, raisin, and tar. Darkly pitched in profile and in the glass, but I found it overripe and it seemed to oxidize by day two. It was more than drinkable but just not a wine I want in my cellar.

  Tannins are all resolved. Decanted. After an hour of air, it showed more cohesively, and lost some raisin notes. Definitely Nebbiolo but much less of the bright cherry notes. Open now. Not a beguiling wine but well-crafted, symmetric wine that accompanies food beautifully.

  Un jolie Barolo, mature et bien fondu. Tout les éléments sont en place. On sent les pétales de fleurs, les épices, le goudron, les fruits séchés
  En bouche, belle vivacité, tout est bien intégré, les épices sont de l'avant, avec de jolies relents minéraux... Termine sur une longue finale, un rien corsée, qui s'efface en paliers.... hmmmmmm !!!

  Mature, polished tannins. Nose is classic nebbiolo. Find myself want a bit more fruit to bring it all into balance, still this went very well with the traditional easter leg of lamb.
