Some good tertiary flavors. Tar, roses, forest floor and empty cigar box. Muted red fruit character and leather as well. Well integrated and smooth tannins.

Wine was past its best. Tasted more like a ok Nebbiolo. No aging notes of leather or that beautiful garnet brick color. Very disappointed we had this at least 5 years, would had drank a lot sooner if I knew!

This wine has a lot of things going on. Had to be chilled properly to overcome the 14.5% alc. black licorice, warm spice, cinnamon, ripe red fruits, great balance & structure with good acidity & tannin.

All of the tannins you'd expect, but it feels a bit hot on the nose and could use more balance.

Lighter style Barolo - a little mellow - sour cherry and earthiness

Nice wine. Very much enjoyed drinking it. Did seem to lack the leather notes I was expecting— was more fruit forward with this one

Average. Should be cheap table wine.

A dark plum colour, delicious and aromatic with rich tannins and characteristics of flowers and stewed plums on the nose, the palate enjoys significant acid with a long, strong, earthy finish. Paired wonderfully with a hearty veal tagliatelle.
