First - I love the artwork
On opening - lovely aroma of dark fruit tobacco undergrowth.
When lasted 3.5 years ago it took a day to open. Now the huge tannins blew off in about 2 hours. - then hit the sweet spot - lovely aroma including earthiness - cherry and other dark fruit on the palate with mouthwatering acidity. Nice balance of mossy earthiness, mineral, truffle and other elegant mature flavors that are meant to be savored. The tannins are still present but build to a long finish and now enhance regather than distract from the experience. — 7 months ago

Reddish in color with a brick hue.
Pretty nose of light wild flowers with red fruits, light oak and licorice.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Single Vineyard Barolo is starting to drink nicely now, but needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Elegant and robust at the same time.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. A good quality wine with potential to become a 94+ point wine.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 24 months in large French oak barrels.

Dark ruby with light ruby highlights. Inviting nose and medium full palate of red berries, juicy blueberry, and ripe blackberry. Bright acidity and medium tannins mark this as a classic Piemonte red for hearty Mediterranean fare. I'm having short rib and butternut squash risotto which fits perfectly. Drink now through 2028. — 3 years ago
