Less impressed than others, I found this bottle a little sour for my tastes. Didn’t soften even after 2 hours decanting or the next day. — 18 days ago

Absolutely gorgeous. Decant for 2 hours to bring out the velvety full body of this complex Barolo. Great with beef or on its own. — a month ago

Basically ok - fruity but not too much, some tannins, a bit “fizzy” on the tongue. Fine for everyday drinking but nothing to write home about. — 24 days ago

More acidity on first taste than I was expecting but that is probably down to the beautifully fresh cherry notes. The taste then evolves on the palate, bringing out the American oak barrels in the form of a long aftertaste, smoky leather mixed with a zing of citrus. — a month ago
