Just opened an’09, just beautiful! Medium Ruby with nice bouquet of abundant sweet black fruit with notes of earthy tar and licorice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe black cherries, leather with a touch of cacao and gentle pepper spice and earthy notes. Fine, soft smooth chewy tannins, excellent structure and balance, delightful to drink now and for the next few years! Don’t wait!

Nice drinking wine right now. A little austere at first but opens up nicely in the glass. Typical of the style. Served blind this was clearly identified by everyone at the table.

A Barolo that makes you happy! And very well crafted tannins considering the vintage. Ripe and positively structured yet lush and forward.

Layered nose of Italian herbs, blooming flowers, and concentrated fruit. Young, fruit and oak working together magnificently with some 'grab you by the balls' grip.

I really enjoyed this Barolo had great tannins , wonderful color and legs the color reminded me of great old world wines. Hope to find another one as good or better because this was very high up there
