Slight earth ripe stone fruit. Excellent. Traditional blend reminds me of Italy. — 7 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. — 11 years ago
Decent not great.

A great older vintage and this wine still has some fruit — 12 years ago
2006 vintage. Good old fashioned Barolo. Light colour and hue. Medicinal notes. Floral and red cherry. Gorgeous crunchy tannins. Long finish. This is a step up from the '89. Plenty of years ahead of this wine. Very good indeed. NB: after 2 hours this wine is singing: roses and tar to the fore, integrated tannins, crisp acidity. Bouquet is out of this world. — 12 years ago
Gorgeous fruit, still a baby but excellent structure — 12 years ago
One of the best wines I’ve had in my life. Truly spectacular. All the things were there. Structure, balance, the fruits of Barolo, all of it. No sense in going over it. Memorable to say the least — 6 years ago
bright tannic and youthful. Much better after decanting. Oak, tobacco overlaying red fruit — 8 years ago

Serious wine but a fair amount of fruit. Dried cherries, eucalyptus, and earth. Firm tannic structure. I like it! — 11 years ago

Good bottle from a bad vintage. Big. — 11 years ago
Drank 5/17/13 with veal and spatzle, not as smooth as we would have guessed, still good. — 13 years ago
Big and balanced blend. Fine tannins with nice minerality add to the currant and berry notes. — 6 years ago
I liked it but too sweet for Warren — 7 years ago
Top Barbera d'alba! Zalig. — 8 years ago
Glad I aged this bad boy. Delicious. Drinking beautifully now. — 9 years ago
Luxurious, decadent, full of youthful fruit but ready to drink now. Those 2009 Barolos are very underrated — 10 years ago
A modern take of Barolo definitely could taste the oak influence, but still a beautiful wine with great nose dark cherry, floral notes, spice, before coming to a palate of dark fruits and then a black finish I think is the fabled tar taste — 11 years ago
Very good fond for the price ($7). Very light and simple; some spice and fruit but largely an uncomplicated sipping wine. Thumbs up! Good with simple pasta; would probably go well with pizza. — 12 years ago
Full-bodied, paired with ravioli and marinara — 12 years ago
Smooth finish red wine from Italy — 13 years ago
