Futili wine that is smooth, kind of creamy (not in a California Chardonnay kind of way though), that tastes a little like white flowers and linen. Just delicious. — a month ago

Nose is intense cherry with some spice. Almost sing the lines of an elegant brunello. As this opens you get those deep fresh hand crushed rose petals that come to the fore.

Palate is intense fresh fruit. Just a super intense blast. Wow. Major acidity held in check by the fruit. As this opens this is borderline elite deliciousness.

Has this thing on the finish that implies it will explode in 3 years.

90 minute decant.

Very good. I'm not any expert, but I think this wine has a future - at Tre Galline, Torino. — 3 months ago

With fruits from the San Pietro cru in Monforte d'Alba and aging in stainless steel and amphora for 10 month only, this is a simplistic yet beautiful interpretation of Nebbiolo.
Ripe cherry, strawberry, plum, rose petals with just hint of forest floor. Medium elegant body. Vibrant yet composed. Soft dusty tannins. Just lovely. — a year ago

Very nice wine. A lot of brick and some wood, but also some cherry and savory herbs. Not a ton of fruit. Pretty good. — a year ago

Incredibly mineral. The nose is all flint and wet stone. Seriously, this is smelling the sidewalk after a summer rain. On the palate you definitely get that minerality in the sense of an almost metallic twang, along with some lemon peel. Just a mouth watering, perfect food wine. — 3 years ago

Full and dark - nose of black cherries, plums, licorice. Velvety tannins, uplifting acidity. A little simple but quite concentrated. Not bad. — 4 years ago

Debut vintage of this and it slays. Nose is ripe as 15 can be but it is infinitely complex. Tar, roses, deep cherry fruit. Glorious spice and so nuanced. Just keeps opening. After 5 minutes it’s changed 8 times. Wow. This is a dream. As supple as the most elite Burgundy and so sweet! Wow. This is as Chambolle as it gets. Perfect balance and stunning purity and depth. Velvet and silk of the highest level. This is the best 15 Barolo I’ve ever had. It’s not close. Wow. Sweet, sensual and silky palate that has the spherical effect in spades. Nose is impossible complex. Unreal concentration and freshness. This is mindbending. Sadly only 36 bottles. Start begging!

This has the balance that only super .0001% elite wines have. This is stunning. — 4 years ago
