Been 2 years and wow is this a stunner. Nose is gorgeous with mashed roses, tobacco, cigar, spice and other florals. Some rich cherry fruit as well. Red all the way. Really perfumed and aromatic. Just stunning. Palate is rich and deep with awesome freshness and cut and such velvety and sweet tannins. Unreal finish and delicacy. Terrific clarity and purity of fruit. Tannins getting bigger with air but it’s so gorgeous and balanced. Amazing length to the finish.

Wow. Sick wine. Just sick. 16 Barolo is crazy. Nose is so floral and layered it’s crazy just wow. Cherries from heaven. Cherry cough drop when god gets a sore throat. Not pennies. Floral. Like way way floral. So damn impressive. Tar, leather and tobacco, smoke, so so so complex. Mint, menthol. Tree bark. Heaven. Ethereal. 9.6/9.7 on nose. Dried roses. Fresh roses. Incredible. Palate is haunting. Gives one shivers down the spine. It opens like crazy. Elegant and so pure. Dazzlingly pure. Elite finesse and fruit quality. This makes one’s stomach drop. The level of detail and finesse is crazy. Beautiful pure cherry fruit. Just so detailed. And driven by finesse. Juicy and concentrated with velvety but substantial tannins and not a hair out of place. So so pure. I can’t say it enough. This is sick. How is this better than the Saffirio label? It just is. This is elite elite elite. Super elite. I can’t. This is a 9.8. The balanced is supernatural.

Just a beautiful wine. So elegant. Light in color, but oddly serious dark plumalicious. Smooth tannins. Another wine that forces u to sit and contemplate through the evening. Perplexing how it is drinking so well while relatively young.

Wowza.

Nose is intense rose cherry. Almost like an incense.as this opens lilacs. More delicate. More elegant and penetrating and less magnitude.

Palate is sweet spice. Sick medium cherry. More succulent than the saffirio line. As it opens a hint of chocolate. Compelling spice.

Decanted. Young, but lovely. Dark nebbiolo fruit, elegant and refined tannin.
