Brilliant with a slow-cooked ragu
Picked this up for a Saturday night in and it was genuinely impressive. Really bold structure but not heavy-handed — the fruit and acidity keep everything in check. Opened it about 30 minutes before dinner and it just got better and better. At £47 it's not an everyday buy but for a proper Barolo it's actually reasonable.

Good but needs time
Bought this on recommendation from my local wine shop. Honestly found it a bit tight when I first opened it — took a good hour to really open up. Once it did, lovely clear aromas and a long clean finish. I'd probably cellar the next bottle for a couple of years. Decent for the price but not quite there yet.

Birthday treat that delivered
My wife got me this for my birthday and we had it with a big steak. The 14% alcohol doesn't hit you at all, it's really well balanced. Loved how the finish just sort of lingers without being overwhelming. Would definitely buy again.
