Aug 1st, 2016In 7-10 years this really should be one of the best bottles in my cellar. I paid 40 bucks for this. It's worth double.

Mar 27th, 2016My first taste of 2011 Barolo. Generous and gorgeous room-filling nose that offers a herbaceous anise note, raspberry tea, rose petals, and other more complex herbs and spices. Just delightful to smell. Very similar on the palate with good acid, generous soft tannins giving good grip, and finishes with a candied raspberry tea note. Very clean, no real funk or Brett,, light and yet expresses a complexity that belies its weight.

Ripe and silky Nebbiolo fruit. Red and savory with anise. Pushes the ripeness envelope without heavy extraction.

Buone note floreali tipiche di rosa, liquirizia nel finale, gran corpo e tannini dominanti
