It’s still lives! So surprised that this was still kicking, with a nice acidity and smoky meatiness on the palate, with hints of marinated cherry (in like, brandy), tar, and the color of Port! The nose still notes of fruit even, with plum, smoke, spice, and Tiva says, “an old movie theatre, or magician’s room”. After a couple hours, the ripe red fruits were exploding out of the glass still, with velvet and even florals hinted on the acidic palate. The meaty, iron flavors lingerrrr. — 3 years ago

From half bottle. Aromas of leather loam and a little plum but essentially very savoury with fine sandy tannins. Oak is there but not overbearing. Loved the wine and a great accompaniment to Pork Belly. Met the owner and chef Tony Percuoco. A great restaurant and a regular for us when visiting Brisbane. His 2 brothers run the equally good Fellinis on the Gold Coast and Armando is the chef and owner of Buon Ricordo one of Sydney’s best Italian restaurants. All 3 highly recommended. — 7 years ago

Takes a little while to open up, so decant this one. Super gulpable once it's had time to get its bearings in the glass. Flavors of prunes and dried figs with notes of cured meats, herbs, and coriander — 9 years ago

Medium rubi robe, nose of tea infusion, camphor, crushed flowers and dried cherries. Very fine and light on its feet, this is a classical Barolo that after decanting drinks very well now. — 5 months ago

This 2010 will stand out as a standard bearer. Upon opening the aromas were gorgeous but the acidity overwhelming, within a few minutes it became candied spiced oranges on the nose with powdered cocoa over orange peel with clove and nutmeg in the mid palate. So good I never wanted it to end. — 8 years ago

Tasted blind. Quite deep , almost opaque garnet , terracotta core , browning rim . Quite high toned nose , dried earth , touch of liquorice spice , meaty dark cherries , touch of coffee, menthol hints . On the palate this is quite dense and dark meaty fruits , quite sweet anis tinged dark fruits . Quite high acidity and rather gritty tannins . Slightly dried herbal finish of ok length . Quite austere and forceful in style. This did improve somewhat in the glass but never lost its slightly dusty , rustic style . For drinking now and over the next 5 years , I don’t see this improving much from here . — 8 months ago

Dried strawberry, cherry, roses, leather. Subtle hints of gravel and forest. Palate is acid driven with bright red fruit, with a hint of mid-palate sweetness and transition into a soft tannin finish, indicative of the 2012 perhaps. — 8 years ago

I love this style: bâtonnage, skin contact, small barrels / creamier, Burgundian / marzipan, custard, chewing gum? — 8 years ago
