I gravitated between this and an Elio Altare - but this was a fine call. I popped it open about 6 hours before dinner, but it was surprisingly drinkable from the start. Great Barolo attack, super dry, raspberries and hints of strawberry with crushed rock, leather, and hints of clove. Feels like it's in its window but could surely run longer. Beautiful in the glass and begging for pasta with truffles. Will enjoy seeing how my remaining bottles age.

Tannic still, not to complex but it opened with time. Tar lightly, but forward tobacco. not a lot of fruit or it was masked by the tannins. I say give it 5-8 years

quick tasting @ l'Insieme Tour 2013: A good basic bottling of Barolo. Rather lightweight, but spicy and fruity and with already soft tannins. - 88 points

Warm, generous, lots of spices, with softish tannins. A more or less classic style but presented in an approachable package.
