When initially opened, it was tight and I was hit in the face with tannin and acidity; obviously too young, decanted 1.5 hours and opened with aromas of licorice, anise, dried red flowers, tar, red berries. Palate evolved over 2.5 hours. Licorice, dried strawberry, forest floor, cranberry; still high acidity and tannin. Excellent wine, and has that sweet fruit profile absent of any residual sugar, which is always fascinating to me; blows lots of 60 dollar Barolo and barbaresco out of the water; I would let rest until at least 2027, and at that point I would expect a stunner. @Lyle Fass — a month ago

One of the few rose wines I adore. 100% Nebbiolo from Valtellina. Nose is light but vivid cherry and some tobacco and tar. Gorgeous clarity. So much energy and precision and so so juicy. What a wine. Amazing length. Now after air the fruit is sweeter and the nose is so floral. This is elite. 9.3 to 9.4 — 8 months ago

So pure, fresh as spring water. Totally get the tangerine on this. Beautiful mid-palate. Alpine. — 4 years ago

Decanted for about nine hours. Fresh raspberries, cherries, and a bit of mushrooms. Very elegant. Full-bodied, but not quite as powerful as other Barolos I’ve had over the years. — 5 months ago

Very nice medium body. Not as bold as a good cab. Finish was a little dry, but who can go wrong with a Barolo. — 7 months ago
