Rated as the “lesser” cru of 2013 but started phenomenally, beautiful aromatic nose and juicy taste with the typical Barbaresco flavours. But after a 4 hour decant VA pops up, initially ok but kept on increasing untill it became a glass of nail polisher. Dissappointing and interesting at the same time. Luckily only with the last glass... — 12 days ago

Color of burgundy with a slight purple hue. Quite clear. Nose of nice dried strawberry, beautiful aldehyde, nice savory herb, oily paint, and strength of alcohol. Nose is beautiful and well refined. Taste follows the nose with addition of zest, slight sweetness, warmth of alcohol, and mellow tannins. Well balanced and tasty. Aftertaste is long and savory. Beautiful. — 2 days ago

Ruby with dried red fruit aromas and earthy herb floral scents, aged 36 months in oak. On the palate sour cherry & raspberry, cinnamon, toasty nuts, licorice and herb notes. Full soft tannins bring fruit to long finish ending with earthy mineral. Wonderful! Will age for another decade. — 17 days ago

Fresh and dried cherries, roses, dry leaves, cinnamon, and blood oranges. HIGH acid and tannins—this needed salty and savory food to feel complete. (Still many years ahead of it!!) — 9 days ago
