Oh my! Expected some oxidation, but this was showing no signs even after an hour. Dark and rich with incredible depth and complexity. Powerful and glorious nose. Dark fruit continued thru a very long finish. A great bottle. — 8 years ago

Wow, floral, faint road tar, this twin Barolo tastes 20 years younger than the Colonello, so rich, so YOUTHFUL, so complex, super long and lingering finish, really close to, if not there already, perfect!! — 7 months ago

Low tannin, medium acid, and a medium-, but smooth and round, mouthfeel made this effortless to drink. Aromas and flavors of cherry, cherry, and every kind of cherry I’ve ever encountered. Simple in the best way, but sort of irresistible too. — 3 years ago
