Luxurious, decadent, full of youthful fruit but ready to drink now. Those 2009 Barolos are very underrated — 9 years ago
The nose was perfumed and intense with dried flowers, rich black cherry, roasted nuts, exotic spice, balsamic tones, gravel dust and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it was silky with vibrant currents of acidity ushering in dark fruits, cedar and spice notes. Mounting tannin coated the palate throughout the finish, drying out the fruit and reminding me that this is a young Barolo. — 10 years ago

Brickish ruby. After 3 hrs of air, nose of flower petals, tea, red berry fruit, and a little menthol. Round and rich with some mocha in the mouth. Young but delivers nicely right now. — 10 years ago
A great older vintage and this wine still has some fruit — 11 years ago
Smooth finish red wine from Italy — 12 years ago
