No notes taken. Served at a family dinner and praised by most. Nice Barolo nose of tar and roses. Still a little stern on the palate but good flavors build to the good finish.

No notes taken. This was a beautiful wine. An approachable Barolo, giving a delightful cherry and tar on the nose. Medium weight with good fruit and earth on the palate. Well balanced. Paired very well with the risotto. Wish I'd bought many more.

Opened and not decanted for 12 hours, then decanted for 1.5 hours and consumed. Medium-garnet colour with orange flecks. Aromas of strawberry, violets, vanilla, orange rind, cherry, earth, grilled meat, cinnamon. Medium-full bodied, juicy, with fresh strawberry, currant, sweet red plums. Tannins integrated nicely. Short-moderate length finish, 25-30s, with red berry fruit. This wine is drinking well right now, and I see no reason to hold further. Drink now and over the next several years.

I decanted this wine for 2 hours. It was a medium red color and had a nose filled with charcoal and licorice. It was medium bodied and had a moderately long finish. A nice wine but perhaps a tad on the simple side. Smooth notes of cherry and smoke. The tannins were dry and understated. I would drink these before opening any of your 1997's. 88 points.
