Tawny, doesn’t look young. Barely translucent. Great nose. Notes of soy, roses, dark fruit, wood, and some molasses that develops with air. Still has some acidity and tannin, but with 4 hours of air this softens nicely. Good stuff.

Annata piccola ma la sua espressione è stata grandiosa!

You know, I just love what @Elisa Scavino is doing with these wines. It's approachable but also classic and can age. Luxuriously textured, floral, beautiful layers, striking acidity, sexy tannins. You will love this wine. #barolo

Hitting spots today! Still has all kinds of hot tannic action but tasty red/black fruit. Definitely a winner.

Lovely wine shared by close friends for Christmas dinner. Perhaps it could have used a few more years, as the nose was not as expressive as hoped. Possibly eclipsed by the Vega Sicilia Valbuena '95 that preceded? Very good but missing some flourish

Just lovely. Nose of cherry pie, extremely dry and tanic, with the finish of dark chocolate.

Youthful and very fresh

Rich nose with notes of leather and licorice. Full bodied, rich, potent, strong tannins, long aromatic finnish. Will develop further with some years in the cellar.

Robe carmin à pourpre
Nez réglisse cerise noire et fraîcheur mentholee
Bouche dense fraîche mais aussi assez ferme
Coeur de bouche dense et frais
Finale aux tanins fins mais trop anguleux à mon goût
Beau vin mais pas au niveau des meilleurs producteurs

Loved this. I think the 2006 really stands out with more character from the colder climate, yet very well balanced and round
