Fun, young, &!fizzy! Light-bodied. Cherries! Reminds me of Lambrusco. Pleasantly surprised, really enjoyed it! — 9 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. — 9 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. — 10 years ago
Medium ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits and elegant hints of floral. On the palate flavors of black cherry, raspberry and plum with hints of fig and tobacco. Tannins are fine and round, a tad young with high acidity noted. The finish is medium, smooth and ends with oak and earthy mineral notes. Very nice. Needs time. — 4 years ago
Slight earth ripe stone fruit. Excellent. Traditional blend reminds me of Italy. — 6 years ago
bright tannic and youthful. Much better after decanting. Oak, tobacco overlaying red fruit — 7 years ago
Great well aged langhe nebbiolo. Certainly quite secondary at this point. Lots of bricking in the glass. Mushrooms and decaying leaves in a good way. Smooth, mouth filling, and good acid. — 8 years ago
Serious wine but a fair amount of fruit. Dried cherries, eucalyptus, and earth. Firm tannic structure. I like it! — 9 years ago
Great "soft" wine with pizza and vegetarian lasagne. Had 2010 vintage. — 9 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 — 5 years ago
Top Barbera d'alba! Zalig. — 6 years ago

Could drink this every day. — 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
Like being on a boat listening to Real Estate! So groovy — 10 years ago

Birthday wine. Really started to open up after about 30 minutes. Every glass got better and better. Minerals and tart cherry. Leather and nice tannins. — 4 years ago
