Bright Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, spices, oak and smoky tobacco notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with notes of pepper, tobacco, cedar and vanilla. Long finish, nice balance with firm tannins, ending with oak and earthy notes. Ok but a few more years in the bottle might benefit!

The first thing you notice is the orange rim. The smell of violets is over powering in he glass. Tobacco, tar, leather are prominent and the tannins are still firm. A wonderful wine with a long finish. After many Langhe and Nebbiolo d'alba wines it's nice to get back to Nebbiolo at its pinnacle.

Medium garnet sweet nose of strawberries and cream caramel. Drinking incredibly well for a 2009. Makes me think this winery is more of a modern style Barolo. Has racy acidity and good fruit, tannins are pronounced with a tea bag sensation but balanced on the whole. Renews my faith.

Apr 29th, 2015Wow! One of the most aromatically intense Barolos I have ever had. Perhaps it helps that I’m drinking in Barolo. The palate is expansive and velvety smooth. Exquisite.

Wowzers, don’t think I’ve had a wine that made me want more and more. Finished the bottle in one sitting with a little help 😉

Oct 13th, 2017Impossible for me to say this wasn't the wine of the night, then the Palari came along. That impossible debate aside, this is an incredible expression of Nebbiolo. Nuanced, elegant, beautifully integrated tannins, and silky smooth finish that seemed endless. Violets, cherry, leather, and tar harmoniously paired together. Special wine, thanks @Scott Petrus.

Jun 25th, 2017See previous reviews. Excellent and well integrated wine showing perfect balance of acid, oak, fruit, and tannins. Long finish. Cherry and tar never went together so well.
