17•+ remarkably young colour. Good nose, though not v complex. Same on palate - v good fruit, elegant but not as interesting as I’d expected. Maybe decant next bottle. — 4 years ago

Tasting of a group of six Barolos and three Barbarescos from 1997 through 2001. Found it overly tannic, the group liked it better. — 3 years ago

Great value for smooth but robust Barbera. Enough going on to keep it interesting. Not sure it was very distinct though but really drinkable. — 4 years ago

9.3

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
