  Port like on the nose, seemed on the downside but enjoyable.

  Fresh, yet tobacco on the nose. To me, over the hill unless it goes through a second wave. Which could happen.

  Had this wine several times in the past few months - really starting to show nicely. Oak has settled in and the more typical, traditional Barolo notes are showing through nicely. Savory notes are well featured, some floral character and oak/fruit starting to sync up finally.

  Not a producer I buy any longer because of the modern style, but I bought this one on release and cellared it, and it is now in that state where modern Barolo, with enough time, softens, becomes integrated and there is enough other interesting qualities that have emerged and balance the oak. There is a lot of deep, spicy, mentholated cherry, along with spice box on the palate. Impressive depth here, too. Oliver, Spencer and I enjoyed this. East Hampton at Cousin Spencer's.

  Medium garnet/burgundy colour with bricking at the rim. Gorgeous aromas of spice, dried roses, tar, truffles, sottobosco, worn saddle leather, sandalwood, dried figs and a bit of alcohol. Full-bodied, with replays from nose through to the 35-40s finish that adds a touch of coffee. Tannins are still present but have integrated nicely. The wine shows great balance and length. This is a really enjoyable bottle and I don't see how it could improve much more. It's showing nice tertiary notes at this point, so why wait until it's dried out? Drink now-2016.
