Terroir and map hunting as wine tasting sport! This is a beautiful Barolo and so well made and contained for such a warm year. Elegance and terroir prevail! As usual, producer trumps vintage status quo! #vajra

La robe n'est pas très tuilée Nebbiolo, elle est quand même assez foncée. Nez sur le tabac, des roses, des épices, un peu anisée, clairement du Nebbiolo. Une bouche avec une belle acidité, assez plein, belle texture avec un petit assèchement en finale assez typé Nebbiolo pour moi, mais c'est très bien avec une longueur appréciable. 91-92
The color is darker then the usual Nebbiolo type of color especially for a 10 year old bottle. The nose and palate are very Nebbiolo like though, roses, tobacco, spices. A nice palate, minerality with vivid acidity, fairly rich texture still except for the typical finish with a touch of what i call “noble Nebbiolo dryness”. 91-92 Love the fact this domaine practices still reasonable prices.

Seamless Barolo with an elegance, purity and balance that showcases the best of Nebbiolo. A terrific producer and wine.
