  On a lighter Barolo side, yet pretty complex. Brick red, flowery scent, bitterish.

  Old, historic firm. Smells and tastes great. Catching it was some baby fit on it. Stainless and cement fermentation. Lots of high tonned orange zest. Follows through with 2009 - meaning its open and expressive now, gives it clean up

  An average bottle of Barolo, complete with a full priced Barolo price tag. Very light bodied and more akin to a Barbaresco. Tannins are full. Fruit flavor is thin and overall concentration is severely lacking for a Barolo. Typical notes of tar, wood, leather and earth are more difficult to pull out of this wine. Medium length. Did improve over the course of a full afternoon and evening of decanting. The remaining glass on the following day had turned.

  The Dirty Dozen Tasting 2013 (Il Botaccio, London): Herbal-tinged aromas with some tobacco and licorice. Impression of dried fruit on the palate. Very structured with firm backbone but mouthwatering finish. Wait. 17+/20. 2016+
