Very developed but some red fruit still punches through. Still grippy. Comes on in the glass just when you think it’s OTH. Red licorice

Epitome of beautiful Barolo. Rose petals, herbs, and a dark base note. Great acidity and vibrancy, still mod rate tannins. Some secondary notes but more development to come if one can keep hands off. Simply classic and delicious.

This is phenomenal. Everything you want in Barolo -- great floral complexity, bass notes of black tar, and delicious fruit. Excellent nuance and great balance. Delicious now and will continue to improve I'm sure...

Tight, tight, tight! Again like the Cannubi lots of potential once the fortress of tannins start to relent.

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Last tasted 10.02.24 (9.1). This definitely picked up steam. Medium-heavy body. Occupying an interesting space in bringing some structure but more fruit/voluptuousness than expected from the region. Rated same vintage, same producer Cannubi effort a 9.5 but that was even more over the top. This has slightly more restraint and, priced at $90 a bottle resto cost, is better value. Wouldn't expect to age this vintage the usual 20-30 years for Barolo as it's currently a PNP. Would pick up three bottles...one for now. One to drink in 2035 and another to crack in 2050 for giggles. 02.07.25.
