Still really great acidity, and ripe fruit, the cork disintegrated upon trying to open, but was not dry. Surprisingly very very good. — 2 years ago

Luxurious, decadent, full of youthful fruit but ready to drink now. Those 2009 Barolos are very underrated — 8 years ago

Unbelievably classic. The mushroom, truffle, and red fruit just dances and the acid and tannin structure is so interesting. Reminds me why I fell in love with Barolo! — 8 years ago

Fruit forward, medium weight, rich purple color. Some smoke, black fruit, licorice. Chewy, tannins need some time to resolve. Long finish. — 10 years ago

Pop and pour. Lovely barbera. Nose shows mulberry leaf, plum, black raspberry. On the palate: excellent acidity, pomegranate, black raspberry, dried leaves, and just so juicy. No real tannin visible on the juicy finish. Yum. — 3 years ago

Perfectly balanced , already very drinkable. Very fruity with hints of strawberries. Tannins are very noble on the background, only noticeably if you wait for it — 4 years ago

Decanted for 1.5 hours first - a little rough at first but opened up - tart cherries, ripe fruit, very round and smooth but tannins have a strong grip. Great with steak! — 5 years ago

Lemon meringue and chalk. Complete and satisfying, balancing freshness and savor. Riesling-like energy. Always one of the most sophisticated Chardonnays from anywhere in Italy. #grasso #piemonte #chardonnay #langhe — 6 years ago

Fresh and dried cherries, roses, dry leaves, cinnamon, and blood oranges. HIGH acid and tannins—this needed salty and savory food to feel complete. (Still many years ahead of it!!) — 3 years ago
