A superb Barolo. The 2008 continues to blossom in bottle. The purity of the fruit and aromatics....striking. Proof that world class wine is still reasonably affordable.

Still tannic but very complex and a great pairing with Christmas rib roast. Better in 5 years.

Battle of 2008 with finally a draw. Before dinner definitively the Ovello, during dinner the Bricco delle Viole and after dinner again the Ovello. Both wonderfull wines!

Sublime nose, I could smell it for hours. Beautiful mouthfeel, long finish. Delivered what was expected! Compared to last time a serious step forward!

Wow, this is absolutely delicious! Roses, bright red cherries, lavender, and spices. Exquisite balance. So delicious now, but I bet it will be even better in 10 years.

Sublime nose, somewhat closed in the mouth. Fair is fair:I expected much more here. Let's see what it gives in a couple of years...
