My WOTN! A "complete" Barolo, kinda out of a school book, that had it all: noble tannins, freshness and a first evolution into maturity. Huge layers of red berries, dried flowers, pipe tobacco, cedar and a bit of menthol. A touch fresher and more intense in the aromatics and tannins than the 1999 Rupestris. — 6 years ago

Required almost 2 hours of decanting. It was quite the experience because this Barolo continued to evolve and provide new flavours throughout the night. Plums, figs, berries, strawberries, raspberries, followed by vanilla, oak, humidor notes, earth, mild herbaceousness, truffles. Tannins are big, chewy but soft and persist for a long time. It’s a complex wine that provides gifts of new flavours that are very well integrated. — 5 years ago

A amazing...!!! Eucalyptus. Oak some minty hints..still vibrant. Is this a Barolo?? Drying tannins...yes definitely but a modern expression of it. I think they use French barriques here... supposedly 2003 was a hot year and the wine would not hold up... guess what??? It did and it can still go for another 5, maybe 8 or 10 more years... there are no even signs of oxidation.. the color is vibrant ruby... this is why I drink wine !!! — 5 years ago

Very good Nebbiolo from a strong producer and a good vintage. In very good shape plenty of fruit and acid. Should be good for another 5-7 years — 9 years ago
Feels like infanticide to drink such a young Barolo, but a lot going on here already. Powerful yet delicate with nice crushed dark fruit notes. — 10 years ago

Heady and heavy. This had dark color and tasted of dark fruit combined with wet earth. It was fragrant but not overly so. I loved the balance and the mouthfeel but it did seem a tad under punching vs normal. — 10 months ago
