| Incredible aromas of white truffle, meat, wet earth, lightly burnt orange peel and pure fruit. Medium-bodied and very compact, with a block of silky tannins that run through the palate and then come out at the end with a gorgeous texture. It’s very drinkable now, but will age wonderfully. |
| | Bright and lively, there isn’t a moment unsuited to enjoying this exhilarating wine. The structure is there to age, but lurks in the background, giving just enough support so as not to dominate the character. I could drink this now, but I must resist temptation. |
| | This exceptional value Barolo showcases a brick-red hue, with aromas of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, mocha, leather, and delicate floral notes. Full-bodied, it features bright acidity, firm tannins, and a rich palate of raspberries, cherries, anise, oak, and spice. The finish is long, ripe, and full of depth. |
| | Aroma and finesse with power and body at the same time. Sweet nose, with hints of cherry, black currant, and liquorice. Fruity tannins. |
| | You get structure, power and long aging potential wrap into one beautiful package. Fruit is sourced from a two-hectare vineyard that represent one of this estate’s most historic and celebrated crus. The intensity and vigor of the wine is impeccable and it finishes with well-managed tannins and long flavors of dark fruit, Morello cherry and spice. |
| | A firm backbone softens a little with air and unravels intense aromas of dark fruit, violets and earth. The palate gradually reveals flavours of bramble and boysenberry fruit mixed with hints of cherry, strawberry, spices and herbs. There is also a strong underlying mineral element to the fruit. Deep, layered flavours that need time to unwind. Powerful but serious and smartly-tailored smart. |
| | Succulent red cherry and floral notes give the 2012 a decidedly bright, lifted profile to play off the wine's pliant fruit. There is good density to the 2012, along with more than enough tannin and overall structure to suggest the wine will drink well for years to come. Slightly gamy undertones suggest the 2012 will always be a bit on the rustic side. |

It has lightly floral aromas with notes of plum and berry fruit balanced by savoury characters. The palate is juicy with ripe plum and black cherry, supple tannins and a lightly spicy finish.
