Very nice, but shows the heat of the vintage a bit in the fruit. — a month ago

What a smokeshow this wine is. Old school as it gets. Nose is all chestnut. In its glorious most primal form. Then comes the cardamon and clove spices. Cracked nuts. Tar, leather. Mad tobacco. It’s so crazy. I love these wines. Fiercely traditional. No fucks given. If Tarkovsky made wine. Palate is gorgeous and the essence of 14. Linear and nervy. Great acids and freshness and the that linearity is something. A gorgeous, tight core of cherry fruit. Just so good. So long. This has 20+ years to go but as epic as anything. Finish is still going. Takes over your mouth. This is so great. Better in 3 hours and ten years. But man what a thrilling, uncompromising absolutely delicious bottle of ancient style Barbaresco but made super clean with elite freshness. — 3 months ago

Nice pale Ruby colour, some earthy notes and strawberry/raspberry. Decent, but not a knockout — 8 months ago

Reminds me of a good Barolo, light but very flavorful. - 2014 vintage — 2 months ago

Colour is already slightly brownish. But still a very fresh Barolo. Very firm Tannins, good acidity, spices and leather and an endlessy long fruit. Fantastic — 3 months ago

Excellent. Drank the 1985 in 2021 for my 36th birthday. The color was still good, the nose was wonderful, the legs were as slow as molasses. Great wood notes. When we opened it, we did break the cork. The cork was longer than usual and longer than our screw. It was salvaged with a chopstick and there was only one speck of cork found in the wine. Incredibly low sediment for the age — maybe a shot glass of sediment was left in the bottle when we tipped it. — 6 months ago

Aroma is sick. Juicy and complex. A bit too buzzed to take a real note. This is the recent bottling as these guys bottle on demand. It’s younger than the first batch. Much better on day 2. — 8 months ago

A glorious Barolo. Rich in fruit, nice acidity with fine tannins mid palate with dusty firm tannins on the finish. — 2 months ago

Nice, but probably younger vintage would be better. Expectations were higher than wine delivered. — 5 months ago

Another bottle of this outstanding Langhe Nebbiolo. What a nose. Chestnuts, cherries, spice and so classic. Aromatic like nothing else. Smells like elite stuff. Nutty, deep and enveloping aromas. Palate is ripe and juicy but starts off a little bitter but goes away with aeration. Dazzlingly pure and structured. Amazingly fresh and energetic. I’ll be back once this aerates. Long and stunning finish. — 5 months ago
