Well made, not a lot of love on the ol delectable and I think it’s because of the name. Great site, they probably get a top parcel, this wine is in a good spot and ready to go. Good stuff, classic.

A tad young and no real wow factor. BUT... it's well-made, balanced, clean and tasty. I'm enjoying it with some lamb and spuds but I wish I had held it another 3-5 years. 14% abv.

Dull and boring, this lacked the complexity and finesse I associate with Barolo.

Very enjoyable Barolo, classically elegant from an amazing vintage, 2012. Open to rose petals, light pin Il shavings, but integrated on the palate with cherry and soft tannings and a long but delicately sweet finish.

Cherry. Cocoa. Tannins. Herbs. Light body, but heavy tastes.

Light body. Cherry. Eucalyptus,tobacco, licorice. Not overly fruit forward. From Bk wine exchange.

Fruit, leather and fresh pipe Tobacco. Still too young, and tannins need to relax. Lean and tight.

BTG at L'Artusi. Smells like a freshly unwrapped Hershey's bar and cherry coke. Ripe pallet with cherry, vanilla and some tannin. Some kitchen spice (clove, cinnamon) Fruit and some oak are evident
