My notes from February 14, 2005 the last time I opened this: "just a baby. A little sharp and unbalanced but still enjoyable. Give it 3 years. 90" well I didn't wait 3 years because I rarely listen to that voice inside my head especially when I can't remember what it said....some of the sharp edges have softened but this is still infanticide. Patience required and those that are will be rewarded. Drink 2020+

Very good Barolo with plenty of savory nuances but there's also something round and sweet that detracts from the focus.
