Concur with the WS review below, although I dropped my score one point and would add that the wine presently requires hours of natural aeration—no less than four in the bottle! We tested the use of a Vinturi, which produced unsatisfactory results. Perhaps decanting would take less time. Paired with pistachio crusted rack of lamb.

WS: 92. A fragrant and elegant red, delivering tuberose, strawberry, cherry and grassy aromas and flavors. Taut and balanced, with bright floral and red fruit notes gracing the lingering finish. Best from 2024 through 2038. 375 cases made, 150 cases imported. — 9 days ago

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Last tasted 10.02.24 (9.1). This definitely picked up steam. Medium-heavy body. Occupying an interesting space in bringing some structure but more fruit/voluptuousness than expected from the region. Rated same vintage, same producer Cannubi effort a 9.5 but that was even more over the top. This has slightly more restraint and, priced at $90 a bottle resto cost, is better value. Wouldn't expect to age this vintage the usual 20-30 years for Barolo as it's currently a PNP. Would pick up three bottles...one for now. One to drink in 2035 and another to crack in 2050 for giggles. 02.07.25. — 6 months ago

Best QPR Bourgogne Chardonnay out there. On par with Meursault but with a drier finish. Oak, buttery palate with exotic fruits and citric nose. Hazelnut, lemon peel, dry pineapple, hay and “farm” scent at first, then vanilla, dates, and butter kick in. — 6 months ago

Wow on day 2 after day 1 was via Coravin this is even better!

Much better this time around for me. More integrated and maybe the last bottle was slightly flawed. No signs of the funky notes the last bottle had.

Pure and classic sour cherry, leather, dried floral, and savory spice Sangiovese. Elegant on the palate, medium bodied with med+ flavors and persistence on the finish. — 7 months ago

2022 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Excellent punch, richness and drinkability. Medium-medium heavy body with a sustained fruity finish. $29 resto cost a bottle. Woulda picked up the last two cases available but recently committed to a few cases of another Barbera d'Alba that showed just as well. If I come across this on a resto list, I'll hit it. 02.07.25. — 6 months ago
