Beautiful wine, I will call the burgundy Italia wine! Red fresh fruit, elegant wine, lovely tannins ;)

The oak is still predominant but it was more open than expected. I'm not mad at it.

Clean smoke, like a bonfire in a recently emptied swimming pool! Dive into some dense black cherry and smoky prune. If there is Rose petal, it is freeze-dried. The tar is licorice and muted. Somehow seems like something large pretending to be subtle. Revisiting later. There is a dustiness that is unusually Tuscan. #PioCesare #barolo

Fantastic precision of bright red berry fruit, some sweet smokey cherry and graphite a warm terracotta roof tiles (!?) and freshly planted roses. Abundant red fruit on the palate, irresistible!

Deep and powerful. Benefits from opening up over time.

This is the second Last Bottle wine that there was clearly something wrong with in just a shirt while. $48 of vinegar literally down the drain.

Alba takes me right back to Italy. A solid barbaresco - balanced and excellent medium body, medium dryness
