Last bottle in my cellar and it came up on the drinkability report as overdue. Yet, when opened, it had a strong, fruity nose, a very pleasant mouthfeel and a long finish, unlike a number of other inexpensive barolos (including other bottles of this producer. Not sure of the efficacy of cellaring a $20 bottle of any wine, but at least it wasn't corked.

Enjoyable. Pretty strong nose, very earthy. light brownish/purple in color - not all that dark. Pleasant to drink - not as big a wine as other barolos, but good.

Showing very nice. Good fruit, long finish. Good typical barolo characteristics. Good wine and solid value. Purchased for around $30 one or two years ago.

Everything I expected and more out of a bargain-price Barolo. Beautiful albeit simple nose with dark fruit and the obligate nebbiolo tar. Dense, smooth mouthfeel and reasonably long finish. Drinking well right now in its youth.
