Quite good. At Keens.

Nice and dry but not bitter. Delicious at Keens. — 3 years ago
What a wonderful wine. Jumped at this when I saw it on the list at Keens for less than retail (if you can find it). The nose is just so deep - like a ripe forest full of wonderful fruits and earth. Had the tannins and acid to stand up to the steak, would not have guessed it was 14 years old other than the somewhat slightly deep raisin fruit note.
Lots of earth and moss on the finish. Just delicious. What a treat. Have looked to buy Pialade many times and just can’t find it - fun one to have. — 9 months ago
Drank at Lum, Vaison La Romaine with Keens and Pigeons. I excellent body, good balanced acidity. — 3 years ago
Bit of a bolder expression than I prefer for barbaresco in general, but still a very nice wine - especially with beautifully charred steaks at dear old Keens steakhouse. Lots of cherry leaps from the glass. Tannins with some air balance out, but could certainly bear waiting a few more years at least. Mouth filling with great acid and a nice finish. — 4 years ago
Nice acid level, tannins resolved, some fruit. At Keens.

Just a knockout wine. Phenomenal nose and great fruit. Drinking well now but would age for a long time. Not hot at all despite the 15.9 abv. Great great. At Keens.

Really a fantastic well aged Barolo. Vintage giacosa in a very meaningful way. A little bricking at the rim, deeply aromatic. In perfect shape with the age. Tannins still there but perfectly integrated. Great fruit and acid. An excellent pairing with prime rib and dry aged porterhouse at Keens. — 6 years ago

Pretty down the middle Nebbiolo from a riper year. Nice overall with good dark fruit and classic Nebbiolo tar / leather but overall impression was a bit lighter than I expected - even with no decant. Nice enough with steaks at Keens but wouldn’t order again. — 7 months ago
