Extremely enjoyable, great substitute when you don’t want to pay 4x for the Barolo. Plenty of depth and intrigue here. Pleasure. — a month ago
2007 vintage drinking very well - was almost ready out of the bottle but improved with a few hours in the decanter. Wonderful red fruit on the palate with strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. Alcohol was slightly perceptible. This is in a good place and seems unlikely to improve much, but nowhere near a state of decline. Fruit is still quite primary with nice acidity — a month ago

I might have had three glasses of this before I realized others at the table might want some of it. — 2 days ago
I am intrigued by this wine- it has subtle minerality with a clean finish. I plan to track down more:) — 19 days ago
So juicy and tasty, such structured wine but super smooth at the same time — a month ago
Crisp, tight dark red fruit that initially hid the earthy, forest floor flavors. It ultimately all integrated nicely in about an hour. Always an interesting ride with a Barolo. This one was 12 years old so we thought we didn’t need to decant….had to be patient instead. — a month ago
Amazing. I haven’t had many barbaresco and barolos. But this barbaresco w age is wonderful. Age shows beautifully. Still strong tannins, earthy, mushrooms, rich cherries, long finish. Paid $140 at resto. — a month ago
Dark garnet in color with red fruit on the nose. Tastes like sweet cherry, strawberry, and a hint of tea. Finishes very smooth. — a month ago

Very hot year with very ripe fruit, blackberries, plums, leather and tar. Extremely well balanced in spite of the 16.5 alcohol. Wonderful. — a day ago
