April 8, 2017 - Opera Wine 2017 - 100 Great Producers (Verona, Italy): Really in a wonderful spot just now. The more 2003s (and 2005s) I have from this region (and Tuscany, too), vintages there were largely maligned and/or panned, the more I have to laugh, at myself, for believing the Pundits; for believing generalizations. Great producers will find a way to make the best wine they can, which means a lot more than it might sound like - and if they can't make the wine they want, they'll sell the grapes, simple as that. Nebbiolo, a delicate grape to be sure, can really withstand a lot, and through it all, show you beauty you never expected. I think this wine is just such an example. That said, no doubt many clever decisions and hard work went into producing such a deeply pleasing wine. Drink now with modest decant, or over the next 5-7 years. recommended+
