2007 drinking well with forest nose and hint of mushroom dry on the finish. Great with any heavy red sauce as it cuts the acidity. Enjoy

Reconfirmed my love for this wine. She may be young but she is very aromatic with lavender and black tea and beautiful bing cherry fruit set like a gem atop a fine scaffolding of firm tannins and bright acidity. Lovely...

2007 vintage. Lovely straight-shooting Nebbiolo. Sour cherry, leather and rose petals. Very elegant though not rich or concentrated.

Really loved it. Everyone thought it was a bit older but either way it was beautiful.

Drinking great -- open, floral, decent complexity. All one could want from an entry-level Barolo. Fantastic!

Much more structured and classic than is typical for the vintage. Drying tannins, licorice and dark fruit. Maybe it's in a muted phase, but I don't see this turning into the showy, fleshy wine that's so typical of 07... and that's fine by me. I can see this having at least another 10-15 years in it.

aromas of what my friend calls "church floors" and anise, dusty tannins, rich, cocoa, good acidity. In short, this is showing well. Got about 90 minute decant.
