Floral and inviting with bitter cherry and tar. Tannins are already softening for 2014. Love the glass cap. If everyone could try this - more people would drink Barolo.

Nice Barolo. Last had just under a year ago, would probably wait a couple more years for the next one.

1965, birth year wine. Reportedly a terrible vintage for Barolo (and rest of Earth), and this bottle was deep into the neck with cork that exploded (even with Durant). Despite all this, the wine was great! Translucent, olive, floral, some red fruit left, silky tannins.

Very nice but still definitely could use some time to resolve. Decanted for 2 hours and had with pork chops. Nose is nearly incredible - dark cherry leaps from the glass. At this stage the tannins are somewhat unintegrated - one to try in another year or two. Excellent freshness on the long finish.

Quite fruity for a Barolo, with dark fruit dominant. Very nice structure with juicy, ripe tannins, nice balance, a sharp edge adds complexity. Already drinkable.

A scent of wet stones and crushed flowers provides support for a moderate tannin pallet of tar, earth, dark fruits, and light kitchen spice. Superb when paired with fettuccine alfredo. Eminently enjoyable singularly...don't miss out.

Even six months of development has this leaping forward. Drinking brilliantly already, hard to resist but it will surely only get better
