If you see this for $35 go buy it. Buy all of it. What a deal for this guy. Full bodied and powerful, but still super tight and acidic - this guy will age for awhile. Dark red cherries but with a smokey roundness and fruit preserve jam-iness.

Solid, classic Barolo. What's not to like?

Another modernist take on #Barolo to produce an early drinking, softer #wine that in my opinion is too soft.

Ridiculous - On wine list here for $69.

2017 vintage. Medium body. Upon opening, fairly compact for a “resto vintage”. The usual tar and dark cherry notes. The longer this was open, the more fanciful it got. French Toast. Cola nut. Chambord. Eucalyptus. White pepper. Pomegranate/hibiscus. Transitioned into a Barolo/(red) Burgundy hybrid. Not enuff structure to go more than 4-5 years in this current uniform. Would attempt another open field tackle again in the near future tho. If you wanna crush an above-decent Barolo tonight without infanticide/ca$hi$h/non-compliant tannin issues, you could do immeasurably worse. 12.15.24.

Very digestible Barolo on early maturity. Nose of asphalt and violets, dark but fresh fruits and a nicely firm mouth coating tannine structure. Medium long finish. This is not overly complex or deep but it surely delivers.

Good barolo on the verge of breaking into the tertiary territory. Concentrated lush fruits, sticky tar, asphalt and softening tannines. I prefer them a step further down the road so I’ll revisit in two years.

Spectacular nose, still a bit closed mouthtaste. Time will definitively make this a stunner!
