A great bottle of one of my absolute favorites. Delicate, exquisitely perfumed and striking in every way. My last bottle... — 8 years ago

Alba's finest at Vito's in Pacific Grove. Tar and roses with sour cherry highlights, complementing pasta and heavy meat sauce. The wine continued to open up during a long meal, and a long finish developed. Loved this wine! — 8 years ago

2001 vintage. Medium garnet. Quite fresh fruit forward raspberry and red plums. Roses and heavy oil fumes. Touches of smoke and woody notes. On the palate, very smooth, silky. Medium bodied. Medium plus acidity, high tannins - very integrated and mouth puckering. Finish is edging to long - fruit forward and cherry liqueur notes. Very decent and drinking well. Would personally keep for another 5+ years before opening as this is still evolving nicely. Still lacks soul - a little too manufactured for my palate. — 10 years ago

My experience with Italian wines is very small, but I do know that this definitely came across as young (not unexpected). Potpourri, tar and tobacco on the nose with rose petal and a lot of underripe cherry. Tannic. — 6 years ago

Still tight and compact good signs for traditionally made Barolo. Notes of raspberry, spice and licorice along with tar show up after several hours in the glass. Just needs a bit more age.

Bottle variance! Last one was bit maderized but this one was showing much better. Soft mature ripe fruit of peaches, compote and bread yeast toast. Enjoyed it. — 8 years ago

Decanted for 2 hours and it starts to open up. Tar, wood, floral, some sort of sweet aroma undertone, fruity on the palate. still tastes vibrant and young! — 12 years ago

1st day after a double decant, nose of butterscotch. 2nd day, strawberries in aged balsamic, mushroom, and roses. Intoxicating nose AND deliciously savory. Wow!!! It’s what I love about Barolo. Really singing on day 2. 2008 vintage on 1/5/19 Nebbiolo tasting. — 6 years ago

Nose of the night and nicest surprise. Tar and roses led dark red, still fresh juicy fruit. Refined, nicely layered secondary stuff going on. Just beautiful and has at least 5-10 years to go. — 8 years ago
