I sold Barolos and Barbarescos from this winery with the first importer I worked for back in the early 80s. It’s been in the decanter about an hour, and though the lightish color shows maturity, some fruit is emerging g to join with the intense mahogany furniture/old library scents. Incense too, along with faded rose petals. Very classic. In the mouth, it’s powerful and somewhat austere. Not a fruity wine. Still a fair amount of tannin present. The austerity and power will pair nicely with the braised oxtails (coda alla vaccinara) that are almost ready. — 6 months ago

Interesting old Barolo (1964). Still highly acidic, a little bit pruny, but good leather, tar, and earth. Served first with a lamb ragu and tagliatelle. — 5 years ago

Dark cherry, balsamic notes and a hint of rose petal. Tasting week right now but with life left in it for 10 years of drinking pleasure. — 6 years ago

Musty on the nose to begin. Fruit still forward given the age. Surprising flint and gunpowder notes. Showing it’s age with raisin characteristics. Some Australian honey!
