A big surprise - better than expected with a couple of hours air — 8 months ago
Great Thanksgiving wine! Dried cherries, rose petal, gum Arabic, cedar-Saigon cinnamon-oak, elderberry, currant, nutmeg, blueberries. Black pepper on entry softens to black and red cherry with lavender and violet. A touch of cherrywood a smaller touch of applewood, a minute touch of hickory and a nano shaving of mesquite. Laden with inlay. Sour blackberry finish speckled with lingonberries and myrrh.

Nice if undistinguished Barolo from the Perno cru in Monforte d’Alba. Cherry, plum, tar, dried herbs, and light forest floor on the nose. Good combination of fruitiness and power on the palate. Tannins are still a bit tight.
Just enter its drinking window. — 4 months ago

No need to wait, tannin is solved
Great concentration in the glass
Not heavy though
Super enjoyable and definitely drank in good company and a fantastic historical evening for Italian tennis 💥💥💥 — 10 months ago
Softest golden straw with glints of green gold. Hint of gunpowder melts to reveal a pudding-soft, dried lychee which peels away to white roses, citrus pith and avocado cloud glistening with flintlock shavings in ginkgo shade. Extraordinary palate leans hard into a soft wall of olive, evaporating lemon oils, cottonseed oil, and lime nodules. Tangerine-pear impossibilities flower, riveting the tongue with pithy, zesty, and blossoming evocations. Ginger, tea and nano bits of Wrigley’s original juicy fruit.

Don’t always love Nebbiolo, but maybe just drinking the wrong ones (or drinking them too young). This was delicious, fruit notes on front with drier, full bodied finish — 7 months ago
Last had 2 years ago. In a good place, not sure what more time will yield. Decanted a couple hours and paired with fennel rubbed pork chops. Quite seamless. Really nice fruit and a long finish with a nice acid / mineral / saline core that provides for a long finish and makes it a great food wine. — 10 months ago
Really a wonderful barbaresco riserva. Should have bought more than one bottle. Lots of sediment, so a decant is in order. Wonderfully deep nose, so velvety on the palate. Nice long finish. Just enough refreshing acid too - could have used a smidge more but still very nice. Great pairing with Allen brothers duroc pork chops. — 2 years ago
