No detailed note. Had as part of a wide-ranging Barolo tasting.

Great! Really nice and juicy.

Quickly double decanted then drunk over two evenings. A youthfully brooding nose with tar, iron, violet as much as rose, cherry fruit, earth, and a little medicine cabinet. On the palate, it's still densely packed and tightly coiled on opening, not to say this wine is dense, just hiding a lot of depth and intensity. Even in this riper year, this is focused and detailed with more dark and red nebbiolo fruit, tar, menthol, and rose. Firm and still youthful, …

The nose is just amazing - so perfumed. Great red fruit here. Lots of nice acidity to give a wonderful balance and a really long finish. I think this wine is absolutely spot on.

Beautiful perfumed nose. Spice and sour cherry dominate on the palate. Very well balanced with a lovely acidity. Long finish. A beautiful wine that is drinking really well now but I suspect this has many years left.

Corked

fruit on the nose but big time italian earth on the palate with a beautiful old world style in harmony in a really good drinking spot went well with pizza at bacino's for my birthday

Corked.

Klar, rubinrød med lys kant. Søtlig nese av roseblader, søte, lyse kirsebær og rørsukker. Bløt, glatt og slank sødmefull frukt med preg av lyse, røde bær og hint av kanel. Deilig frisk syre. Finstøvete tanniner. Lang finish med fin sødme.

Åpnet kaldt , ga lys rød frukt, tjære og svak kjeller. Med økende temp ble det mer floralt og etter en times tid ble frukten dypere og mørkere. Ytterligere en halv time stengte det av, . Munn hadde hele tiden kjølig frukt, flott tanningrep - midt i kinna og midt på tunga - . Nydelig syre. Lang og nesten/noe cantalope i finish. Saftig og flott. Så ble denne plassert halvfull nederst i vinskapet og jeg dro på fjellet. Etter 5 …

Day1: Impressive intensity on the nose with extraordinary depth and complexity. Nice elegance as well. Cherries, staranis, leather, earth. Medium bodied with integrated tannins. Very nice concentration and great acidity. The fruit has a fantastic depth to it. Cherrystone . Impressive length. Dag 2: Darker fruit than day 1. Tar and rose. A bit more mute. Closed down in the mouth as well. Day 3: Not tasted Day 4: The wine has opend up again and show fantastic developed nose. …

Lovely perfume to the nose, beautifully earthy notes; the palate is mild, lighter weight and a very tight finish. If this puts on weight as it ages, it will merit a higher score.

Molto indietro, sia al naso che in bocca. Inizialmente il naso è un po' vernicioso, poi si apre su molto frutto al naso, rimanendo comunque elegante. La bocca è davvero acerba, ma rivela una materia davvero impressionante
