9.3

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. — 5 years ago

Dec 2023: singing after 2 hour decant, great balance, not many signs of aging, style resembles classic Barolo from neighbouring Cannubi, drink or hold — 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. — 10 years ago

2009 Vintage. Another world. Similar to an Amarone. Cherry liqueur, blueberry crumble, and wild berry fruit. Mealy tannins, high alcohol, but surprisingly cohesive and lovely. — 11 years ago

9.2

Luxurious, decadent, full of youthful fruit but ready to drink now. Those 2009 Barolos are very underrated — 10 years ago

Matthew Denci

9.1

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 — 10 years ago

Fresh cut wood, tobacco, and cinnamon with a good amount of juicy fruity flavor to balance the earthiness. — 11 years ago

9.5

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. — 11 years ago
