Still youthfully dark in color with a very slight browning on rim. Upon opening still very tight and shy on nose. Decided to decant this for 3.5h prior our Christmas dinner and it started to open around 3h mark. Then it was a great Barbaresco from Treiso offering slightly darker side of Nebbiolo expression with ripe cherry, some leather and smoke, fine pepper notes. Healthy acidity and fine tannins offers solid back bone for further aging and development. I take this is 2-3 years from peak and should continue to drink several years after that. Glad I have 2 more bottles. This was a fabulous qpr back then at 23€/bottle — 5 years ago

A 100% sangiovese grape wine this balanced is rare. A hidden gem in he heart of Tuscany this wine had a hint of tart flavor that mixed well with the beef tartare. I plan to drink the whole bottle before the first meal arrives. — 7 years ago

1 1/2 years of patience, next bottle out of the case. Bold, packing a punch, still super rich with grippy tannins. — 8 years ago

Tasted flat after it was uncorked; but 30 minutes later it released full fruit -- cherries, blackberry, and perfect tannins. Impressive. — 9 years ago

Luxurious, decadent, full of youthful fruit but ready to drink now. Those 2009 Barolos are very underrated — 9 years ago

Very tannic. Cherry, licorice, medium body, very good with a skirt steak. Not amazing but also def well made. Not certain if I would buy again but above average. — 10 years ago

Medium+ garnet, with a tinge of orange-brown color around the rim. Raspberry and cherry nose, along with that pencil shavings smell. Second hour of air, secondary scents unfolded with some mint, spices and lightly roasted coffee beans. Feels quite Burgundian. Silky tannins. Not much gripping. Mid weight on the palate. Nice acidity; not overly tart. Surprisingly long. The taste lingered for quite a while. 91-92. — 6 years ago

Lemon meringue and chalk. Complete and satisfying, balancing freshness and savor. Riesling-like energy. Always one of the most sophisticated Chardonnays from anywhere in Italy. #grasso #piemonte #chardonnay #langhe — 7 years ago

The fruit comes with a hint of sweat and meat. Totally in a good way. Nicely structured and feels very well developed. In a fantastic place. — 9 years ago

Out of magnum. At first it was nothing special, but after an hour to open up it developed into something more structured and interesting — 9 years ago

Unbelievably classic. The mushroom, truffle, and red fruit just dances and the acid and tannin structure is so interesting. Reminds me why I fell in love with Barolo! — 10 years ago
