Feb 25th, 2022Resembles the flavor of the fruit of the eucalyptus tree, brightness of a red dwarf star. A subtle sweetness, grapes grown in sediment classified as clayey sand, possibly sandy loam. Overall: very tasty.

Nov 2nd, 2023Nice noise. Delicious cranberry that little sticky on the back end. This is a do again wine.

Oct 15th, 2023Medium ruby , wide slightly garnet rim . Red cherry , raspberry , dried herbs, touch of liquorice . Very balanced an enticing on the nose . On the palate rounded sweet red fruits , red cherry and ripe raspberry , touch of rosewater and liquorice . Quite firm , fine but ripe tannins , nice balancing acidity . Decent length , though this can be drunk now , will improve over the next 5 years and last a further 5 or so. Not hugely complex but an entry level Barolo that delivers an enjoyable experience .

Dec 18th, 2022$35 BIG nose. Notes of blackberry, wood, baking spice, licorice and hints of vanilla. Full body. High acid. High tannins. Medium alcohol. Off-Dry. Notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, balsamic vinegar, rose, and leather on the palate. This is an interesting barolo with lingering notes of sweet fruit mixed with a tangy balsamic. It has chewy tannins and high acid which fools you into thinking it's savory. Not bad!
