Birthday Barolo! Mmmm this is good stuff. Late bottle release - aged in the Anselma cellar until 2024. Deep nose of macerated dark cherries. Bright red cherries at first, with tight tannins, sharp acid and a lot of structure. Herbal, dry, dusty finish. Still feels quite young after all these years (like me??), but I just opened it and it’s still developing…

5 hours later: more dried berry notes, black pepper and bitters. Still pretty restrained and dry. Not fruit forward, but refined with nice complexity. — 4 days ago

90% Nerello Mascalese with 10% Nerello Cappucio! It is so aromatic—lovely florals, anise, and slightly sanguine notes tumble out of the glass. It’s silky smooth and somehow rich but light on the palate. Red plums and raspberry cordial glide down easily, a hint of spice perking up on the finish, which makes a surprise return to earth and berries. I’m downright in love. — 5 months ago
