Love. Fully resolved. Perfect kiss of Brettanomyces, tart plum fruit. Nice bitter balance. Leather. Unity.

Classic in style and character. The color is ruby and clean. The nose and palate became more focused over the 2 hours we drank this. At first a beautiful perfume started to reveal rose petals, tar, and licorice, then mint and cherry notes. The palate was medium in intensity with medium+ tannin and acidity. A medium+ finish.

First bottle was great. Second bottle was undrinkable and horribly oaky. Vanilla nasty.

This a lighter, drier more savory expression of Barolo. I love this wine. My 4th time having it.

Gorgeous fully mature Barolo. Savory red fruits. Tannins are mostly resolved. Bright acidity. Very harmonious, complex. Outstanding with porcini rubbed Prime NY Strip steaks. Glad I have more!

Fully mature traditional Barolo. Savory, resiny and very dry. Went great with grilled Flannery California Reserve NY Strip with a Porcini rub.
