"Modern-style, full-bodied Barolo with sweet vanilla oak, dark cherry and black tea leaves. There is 70% new oak aging in this wine and at the moment it shows. An intense Barolo that should age beautifully; wait until 2019 before approaching."

"È incandescente al naso e rivela una potenza sensoriale importante ricca di note di gelsomino, ribes, melagrana, maggiorana e datteri. In sottofondo le fragole dominano la scena secondaria e si fondono a tocchi balsamici sempre intriganti e sperati. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini rifiniti, precisi e fusi nella matrice ed un finale che cresce e si allunga mostrano una bella tensione. Meglio dal 2023."

"Glänzendes Rubingranat. Zeigt sich in der Nase sehr kompakt, eröffnet mit balsamischen Komponenten, dann viel Kirsche und Preiselbeere, etwas Safran. Straff und zupackend am Gaumen, dunkle Frucht, viel Brombeere, Tannin in vielen Schichten, ist erst am Beginn einer langen Entwicklung, im Finale nach Melasse, bleibt ganz lange am Gaumen."

"Leggiadro ed evocativo questo Barolo mostra la superiore essenza nelle note miste floreali e fruttate di egregia fattura ed indomita bellezza. Le ciliegie si fondono ai fiori di ibisco, ai gerani e alla buccia di mandarino per generare il profilo principale protagonista assoluto. Il sottofondo elitario dispensa tracce di ribes, melograno e fiori tiglio in un gioco di colori che vira dalle sfumature rosse a quelle bianche. Di corpo medio, mostra dei tannini ben estratti di tessitura fine leggermente polverosi, rigidi al momento, ed un finale compatto e vivacemente pronunciato nella chiusura tegliente. Meglio dal 2023."

"Il complesso bouquet floreale unisce perfettamente le note di qualità superba di fiori rossi di ibisco, gerani, violetta appassita e ribes. Si arricchisce con note che ricordano il carattere ferroso ed ematico. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini maturi e al momento ancora rigidi e compatti ed un finale di grande luminosità e persistenza olfattiva. Meglio dal 2023 in poi."

Dicht und stoffig in Ansatz und Verlauf, ein sehr direkter Wein, zeigt viel engmaschiges Tannin, tiefgründig, Noten nach Himbeere und Trüffel, im Finale satter Biss."
