Excellent! Drinking so well right now. Everything has blended and aged together perfectly. Oak and tannins have mellowed and integrated nicely. — 2 months ago

Decanted for 30 min. Deep, inky puple color. Loads of dark fruit... blackberries, blueberry, licorice, and sage. With a short decant, it is drinking beautifully now but zero rush to drink. This still has many more years left in the tank. — 4 months ago

Drinking while decorating for Christmas (not hosting Thanksgiving this year Nov 2023), aged perfectly. Decanted for about 30 minutes, beautifully aged barolo with rose petal and prune aromas. More prune flavors along with tar and blackberry. No rush to drink! Highly recommend! — 2 years ago
