  In its peak drinking window, best decanted for 2 hours, and show red and dark fruit (black cherry), earth, mushrooms (the 'balsamic profile), and a long and delicious finish. Maybe it could last a few more years but why wait? Served with roasted rack of lamb.

  no notes but remember this being quite nice over two nights, not a bottle to pay $125 for but if found for $80 then a pretty good QPR, seemed to be on the trad'l side of Barolo, just now coming into the drinking window and probably goes for another 15-20 years easy

  樱桃，腌渍樱桃，烟肉干，烟草，皮革，焦油，干花瓣，甘草，粉质中式香料（五香粉），凉凉的薄荷碎……甜香料奶油构成呈块状的桶味，颇大的架构，朦胧不清，香气蜷缩。入口紧缩，复杂粗壮，单宁强壮，把舌头前端拧做一团，不太细腻，酸度亦高，环绕口腔，骨架结实。干樱桃，酸樱桃，黑李子，青果和果脯带来浓缩的果味，烟熏，烘烤，泥土，甘草等香料。新鲜红紫花瓣，伴随果味和烟草气息，延伸到颇长余韵。
  
  三个小时后，花香绽放出来，酸度提升，依然很紧。
  
  第二天，玫瑰同紫罗兰盛开，鲜樱桃，樱桃酱，成熟红苹果同皮革，粉质香料和香草奶油的桶味整合在一起。在清晰的金属矿物线条勾勒中，工整俊朗，具有深度，些许清凉。入口通透度提升，单宁很强，还是很粗，酸度不错。果味丰富甜美，樱桃，樱桃脯，杏脯，绵沙的苹果肉，甘草渍梅。细碎烟草，草本，鲜薄荷碎，各种粉质辛香料，皮革，甜甜的桶味……在矿物硬线条的规整下现得结构齐整立体，余韵颇长，偶尔一丝茉莉花香。
  
  第三天，果味带酱感和果干味，八角茴香，桶味甜，和果味融合。入口单宁稍驯服，粉质不太细腻，整体感好些，比之前平瘦，八角香料，余味长，有奇异的青果味。89-90/100

  Drunk alongside a 2000 Santo Stefano and a 2001 L. Pira Marenca, this was my clear favorite of the three. Suave and elegant, with a fine balance of fruit and taut minerality. A sweet, savory nose and great length round out the package.
