If memory serves—which it sometimes doesn’t—this was an inexpensive Garagiste “mystery” wine. And it’s not bad. Very light color with some ambering of the edges. Nose is Nebbiolo all the way, with macerated wild cherry fruit, lots of old barrel/mahogany scents, a a little gravelly hillside note. In the mouth, it’s a rather lean and austere style, good intensity, but a little angular, and the tannins are a bit scratchy. Needs food, which, luckily, I happen to be eating.

UPDATE: Night 2, after being under a vacuum closure, it’s softened and rounded in the mouth considerably. Upping score from 8.8 first night to 9.0. — 2 months ago

Nice Barolo. Heavy tannins day 1. Opened up nicely and much smoother days 2 and 3. Cherry, raspberry, leather, earth, mild spice. Lingering finish. — 5 years ago

Chocolate and spicy notes with fruits and toast notes. Maybe it's too young. Needs a decantation - an hour at least. — 6 years ago

17+/20 (92+/100) Красивый аромат с нотами вишни, малины, земляники, ванили, цветов и пряностей. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, чуть суховатыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Молодо, требует дальнейшей выдержки. — 7 years ago
