Holy smokes

3rd of the trio barolos served with truffle dinner

This wine was seriously tertiary. It was mistaken for a Madeira or sherry or port for its dessert like flavors and sweetness though it had no sugar

Very good wine to finish the meal and loved to dessert with

9.1

High expectations for this champagne.

Im nervous it froze a bit or was affected by weather for new years. Will never know

There was a slight bitterness at first. It faded with air time.

Overall - no rating. It did the job but did not live up — 15 days ago

Was the first of a trio of Barolo and it showed as the early drinker with a lighter profile.

Great finesse and flavor without food. — 12 days ago

Followed a trio of Barolo with truffles and a magnificent dinner

This bottle paired with chocolate mousse and was a bit unfair but it held up and was a good change of pace to provide more grip

Overall nice balance of body depth and fruit — 12 days ago

From double magnum. The 2nd such bottle from auction

Cork survived and bottle was opened at 230 for a 6pm dinner. First pour at 430pm and this wine was showing nicely.

Overall a crowd pleaser and good balance of fruit and structure. — 21 days ago
