Classic barilo. Slightly dry on the palate. Colour Turning slightly towards brick. Nose: forest floor and a whiff of loam and hickory. Loads of tannin albeit slight dry and a bit more focused on the front of the palate Medium long finish. Very enjoyable — 20 days ago

Nose is a 10. Mouthfeel and finish don’t match. Tannins a little rough. — 4 months ago

Nose: Dark fruit aromas lead the way with notes of black cherry, ripe plum, licorice, and subtle spice.

Palate: Big and bold with vibrant acidity and firm tannic structure. Layers of cherry and dark fruit carry through a long, persistent finish. Very well rounded with impressive depth and balance.

Overall: Structured yet approachable. Shows strong aging potential and should evolve nicely over the coming years. — 6 months ago

Very similar to the recent 2013, but with more roses. Again, much softer, less powerful than the Ravera and the Vigana Elena. $225 from WA. At home with Curly. — 7 months ago

Only a touch less panoramic perhaps than the recent 2010 of this. A little browning, probably still at its peak. Seems to respond better to gradual airing in the bottle or glass than being poured into decanter. $190 from Winestar. — 9 months ago
