No formal notes - dining with friends at a BYO Italian restaurant in Surfers Paradise. Interesting background story - this is made by Australian winemaker, Dave Fletcher, in the old Barbaresco train station. Dave is one of the chief winemakers at Ceretto. Ceretto allow him to make wine under his own label on the side. A well made correct medium bodied rendition showing red fruits and fine powdery tannins. A great match with Fettuccini Puttanesca. — 5 years ago

30 October 2020: Josie is TEN! Yay! Happy Birthday! We should be eating McDonald’s Apple Pies and instead we are eating steak and pecorino w honey and tagliatelle with truffle (and butter) and ragu plus a potato with lard at Associazione Chianti. NBD. We miss Josie and the wine was great (though needed to be chilled). Tomorrow is Halloween and then it’s November and Tuesday is the Election. FUCK. PLEASE COME TOGETHER. ok. Time for Tiramisu. — 5 years ago
This 16 year old Barolo is drinking very nicely now, but still so young.
Very dry on the palate with red fruits, earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, coffee, earth, wet leaves and herbs.
Elegant and robust.
Showing mild complexity and will continue to age nicely in the 15 years.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$130. — 3 years ago
Complexity in a bottle! Light ruby color. Outstanding Barolo features aromas of leather, pencil shavings, purple flowers, earth and a touch of dried meat. Sour red fruits (cherries, raspberries and pomegranate) dominate the pallet with beautiful accents of Asian spices and coffee. Structure is beautiful. Tannins are present but balance perfectly with the acidity. Thank You Keith S! — 4 years ago

Well … it’s always a treat to drink something so old. Yet, a bit musty (as in lacking energy yet with just a hint of the other - beautiful ‘must’) and very peppery. Still … interesting and enjoyable. — 2 years ago
