  Soft and sexy, the vintage speaks here, plenty of toast and cocao, but this remains a well structured wine. Still young IMHO, but certainly approachable. 91+

  Nice wine, on the feminine side. Not my style, Brad rated it higher 91-92. Not something I would seek out, I have 1 more bottle that I will give 5 years.

  Very good Barolo, better than my note from 3 years ago. Leather, cedar, a hint of oak and bourbon with a long finish. Better after a few hrs open, different but not really better on day 2. The wine shows what a Barolo can be, but I don't get the layers of complexity and very high scores of other reviewers.

  A small 2007 Barolo check-in (My place, Chicago IL): There is a brawny quality to the nose with deep and layered tones of Licorice, black cherries, raspberries, violets, tar, earth, tobacco, dark red berries, juniper, and some liqueur tones. The Medium/full bodied feel is deep and plush with tart, high acidity and silky, high tannins. This is a flat out gorgeous wine. It is drinking on the earlier side, but is also shows off all of the reasons why I love Massolino's Vigna Rionda. It has heft and power without being unrestrained while showing off a deft touch on the palate with a lengthy finish.
