Wine is bright red, on nose its red fruits, earthy, oak, dry tobacco, floral. On palate, wine is plum, berries, oakiness. Acidity is medium plus, tannic, its shows strong charachter or nebbiolo and merlot. Firm and elegant structure. Enjoy 2029+. Cheers! — 2 months ago

Earthy (of course). Cherries, raspberries, strawberry, leather, and tobacco. Outstanding, and just coming into its own. — 4 months ago
Cherry, green coffee, alcohol smell, beautiful light ruby red color, acid, cherry, mild musky smoke, acid cuts at the end and sits creating a cold-hot illusion — 5 years ago

Other ratings called this “closed” which I completely agree with. The dense flavors took forever to open up. I popped it at noon for a 7:30p dinner of chick pea and potato pasta, and it was still developing. Highly tannic, but so layered if you have the patience. Darker fruits, yet still some tart red cherry, lavender, rose petals, and ashy dryness. Complex, classic Barolo (from my limited experience). I’ll save my second bottle to see how it develops. — 2 months ago
Great structure and intensity. Absolutely powerful acidity after 5 hours of opening. — 4 months ago

Wine has aged beautifully. Tannins have softened and the bold flavor paired perfectly with lamb chops roasted with garlic and herbs. — 4 years ago
Pleasing to drink and very balanced but not what I expected. The tannins are weaker than the fruit and it doesn't wow on the nose. Nothing wrong with it but as the saying goes "I've had better" — 8 years ago

Nice bouquet of violet, subtle spice. Cherry, herbal and earthy. Liked it better on the second day. Touch hot on the first. — 4 months ago
Great. Anise, balsamic, and dark cherry. — 4 months ago
From magnum . Little darker ruby than the asili , slightly narrower garnet , terracotta rim . Darker quite ripe fruits , more medicinal , touch of tar and mineral length . Slightly more rustic tannin , good fresh acidity . Slightly darker anis tinged finish with good length. Quite austere and really young , needs time to open . Quite rustic , a bit of a brute ! Better in 5 years and will last a further 5-10. — 7 months ago

Nice touch of roses and tertiary notes with a hint of red fruit that disappeared after 30min or so. Enjoyable while it lasted. — 2 months ago
