Personally I Absolutely adore this wine with its rich and ripe fruit character but with a sharp freshness that is keeping it all together. A generous but well placed oak character balanced by the fruit and a sharp minerality that is bringing the complexity that is making this treasure no less than a great wine. — 7 years ago

This is a beautiful Barolo that reflects the nuance and richness of the earth from which it was harvested., and the care of this legendary vintner. Wow! It is still evolving, probably almost reached its peak. — 8 years ago

'04, indicative of the vintage, quite ripe, intense, with a great balsamic complexity, I'm going to let it open a bit, as it's got some balls... — 9 years ago

Sexy, opulent and sweetly perfumed aromas are hard not to kneel for. Ripe tannins, well handled fruit and acidity make this both accessible and a solid mid-term cellaring candidate. — 10 years ago

Deliciously bright berry fruit on this blend of 80% Freisa, 10% Cab Sauv & 10% Merlot. Wonderful depth of earthy spicy undertones and a long soft finish. Great with mushroom pizza and roasted veggies on a casual Tuesday night. — 7 years ago

The aromas are delightful with rose petal, tar, red cherry, pomegranate and Asian spices. The palate is not as interesting red fruit and spice with a hint of sous boos. This bottle lacks a touch of depth and complexity. Tannins are nicely resolved but just lacks real verve on the finish. — 8 years ago

Made my wife's favorite dinner for our anniversary and opened up this treasure to accompany. Beginning to mature and drinking great currently. Nose is impeccably balanced with dark berry fruit and earthy tones. The palate opens up to blackberry, cherry, spice and a touch of smoke. Fine tannins lead the lingering finish that sticks around forever. Dinner was homemade fettuccini with fresh tomato sauce with garlic, capers and white wine along side grilled Italian sausage from our local butcher. — 8 years ago

So much happening here. Sour mash on the front. No fruit to be found. Oxidized with a touch of funk. Acidity balanced with a syrupy note. As it warms, white pepper emerges. Did I mention phenomenal with saffron lobster ravioli? Yeah, it likes food and as any Marche white should, screams for shellfish. LOVE this wine. — 11 years ago
