  Was a bit closed in the beginning - but after decanting the wine opend up quilte nicely - we liked the wine - the fruit is cherries - plums -blackberries - also some menthol. The wine is still medium + on tannins but well integrated - this is a Nice Wine that deserves solid 93.

  Signature tar notes along with red berry fruit of raspberry. Rose water, earth and leather. With time adding more complexity: tea, dried herbs, crushed pepper and even cinnamon. Fresh acidity, grainy tannin but in great balance and with presence from attack to finish. A versatile, promising Barolo. 93+

  An enjoyable Barolo. Classic flavors of dried red cherry, tar, tobacco, mushroom, violet. No decant and took 3 hours to open.

  Not quite ready. Decant 8 hours to get the leather and licorice. Good with pizza or cheese.

  4 hour decant. Bright red fruit on a somewhat muted nose. Still fairly tannic with a good mouthfeel and decent finish. Cherry, leather and spice. Had the definite feeling that this was too young as it seemed to lack the complexity I expected. A really nice barolo and maybe with more time it will justify the high critics scores but it's not at that point right now. 93+
