Pop and pour. Vinous note suggested early drinking, CT tasting notes suggest waiting. Split the difference? I was expecting a fruit-forward modern-styled barolo, and while this definitely leans modern, it is not over-the-top. In fact, quite charming at this stage. On the nose: classic blood orange, soft florals, but modern sandalwood inflections, with some dried strawberry secondary notes. On the palate: excellent acidity, bitter herbs, dried raspberry, dried sage, and soft plum. Serious tannin kicks in, but the finish is juicy enough that most food pairings will soften the tannic blow. Tipping the scales at a burly 14.5% ABV, but this is surprisingly nimble. I really enjoyed this... — 4 years ago
A more gentle Nebbiolo. Light ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas of sour red berry fruit, leather, forest floor and smoke. Sour cherry, cranberry and pomegranate fruit flavors with hints of tobacco, dark chocolate and earth. No obvious indication of oak aging. Tannins are relatively mild and pretty well integrated. Well concentrated but slightly out of balance. Somewhat elegant and restrained. Not what I expected. Thank you for the bottle, Ron B! — 4 months ago

Unique Piemonte Favorita clone of Vermentino. Bright straw color. Aromas of unripe pear, white flowers and burnt rubber. The palate notes pear, lemon, fresh herbs and a distinct mineral note on the long finish. Crisp and bright acidity. A bit of heft. Quite good. Thank you for the bottle, Ron B! — 6 months ago
