Takes a little while to open up, so decant this one. Super gulpable once it's had time to get its bearings in the glass. Flavors of prunes and dried figs with notes of cured meats, herbs, and coriander — 9 years ago
Red fruits with tons of floral and touch of tar. Gripping but integrating tannins. — 10 years ago
This is rad, I guess you'd call it a baby Barolo but totes affordable. Plushy soft fruits, strawberry delight, yum. — 11 years ago

Tasted blind. Quite deep , almost opaque garnet , terracotta core , browning rim . Quite high toned nose , dried earth , touch of liquorice spice , meaty dark cherries , touch of coffee, menthol hints . On the palate this is quite dense and dark meaty fruits , quite sweet anis tinged dark fruits . Quite high acidity and rather gritty tannins . Slightly dried herbal finish of ok length . Quite austere and forceful in style. This did improve somewhat in the glass but never lost its slightly dusty , rustic style . For drinking now and over the next 5 years , I don’t see this improving much from here . — 8 months ago
I love this style: bâtonnage, skin contact, small barrels / creamier, Burgundian / marzipan, custard, chewing gum? — 8 years ago
Soft and approachable modern Barolo. Deep red cherry and plum with a hint of spice and liquorice. Nicely balanced and easy to drink. Lovely wine but I did prefer the 2011. — 9 years ago
