Not Ambrosan. A big boy that’s now lived it’s full life. Dark, earthy, and mysterious. — 8 months ago
New style barolo. Delicate, light, floral, feminine. Easy drinking missing a bit of power. — 4 months ago
Opened several hours prior to service and poured into a ship’s decanter. The 1967 “Riserva” pours a ruddy garnet color with a transparent core and a slightly orange-ish rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. Some slight signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but the fruit is still showing so well! A mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a slightly savory. This is drinking so well right now and I reckon it’s on a plateau of pleasure. It almost seems evergreen considering its vigor. Drink now because you’ve already waited long enough! — 5 months ago
Medium bodied, garnet color, balance of tannins and acidity, dry and bold. Hints of Sour Red Cherries and Cranberry. You can store for another 3-5 years. A great wine for today and tomorrow. — 10 months ago

Light in body, yet robust in flavor. A ruby red hue with medium body and nose like fresh cut red fruit, and slight pepper spice. Acidity is bright and sharp, could use a year or 2 of age, with notes of slightly underripe strawberries, black cherries and red berries, white pepper, slate and a long dry finish that feels almost like menthol or mint, but not as specific. — 2 months ago
