Cloudy with a medium to full body. Brighter / more crisp and lemonade’y then I would expect from something so cloudy. Very refreshing — Drifter’s Wife w Shan after oysters — 6 years ago

On first day the fruit is very primary, muted and with unbalanced alcohol. The second day has more sour cherries, with mint and spices w balanced acid and alcohol is no longer felt. Enjoyable now, not yesterday. Allow time with this Roero producer. — 2 years ago

So tasty - such a gem, picked this up in northern Italy years ago, Vino Liquorizo at about 19% it wears it well. Not a hair out of place. Plums & figs, Christmas Fruit Cake, black fruit, chocolate but not decadent, beautiful balance & weight, not as viscous as you might think - lithe, graceful w/really long lingering finish. — 3 years ago

Praleum w SL. Disappointing. Remained closed throughout the night. Left 1/4 of the magnum bottle on the table. Suspect not ready to drink.

The profound 1996 Barolo Capalot Riserva boasts a dense, ruby/purple color, and a pure nose of black cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. Layered and multidimensional, with a sweet mid-palate and a blockbuster finish, this is an immense, full throttle Barolo that should age effortlessly for 15-25 years. Impressive! — 3 years ago

A pretty yet understated mix of wet stone, dusty violets, lavender and black currants rises up from the 2018 Rosso di Montepulciano. This is soft-textured and fleshy in feel, yet energized by bright acids and a sour citrus twang that enlivens its tart red berry fruits. It tapers off incredibly fresh and mouthwatering with stoney minerals, roses and vanilla-tinged sweet spice. To be frank, I’ve seen some very poor reviews from this wine in certain social circles, yet from this experience, I can’t validate them. That said, there may be some bottle variation at play.
