  May 15, 2020 - Drank the 2nd of the 2 bottles I had in my cellar .... another beautiful experience. A distinctive bouquet with sour cherry notes. On the palate a flinty medium bodied Nebbiolo with some sour cherry and forrest fruits. Good structure and tannins still evident.

  April 26, 2020 - This wine was left in my cellar far too long. The fact that at 19 years it was still quite drinkable is testament to the winemaker. The wine needed a bit of time to open up as it started with a slight bitterness in the after palate. The Nebbiolo skeleton was evident and what it lacked was more “brightness” from fruit that the years of ageing had stripped away. It reminded me of two great visits I had to this winery many years ago where the mother of the winer makers ( 2 brothers) hosted the tasting.

  March 29, 2019 - Medium garnet to tawny colour.
  Nose: Blackberries, black cherries, cigar box, hint of tar. With time come black olives, old leather, a little earthiness, hints of tarragon and rosemary. (89p)
  Taste: Lovely sweet & sour / sweet & bitter fruitiness, dark cherries, plums, wild strawberry lemonade/syrup, black pepper. Wonderful acidity. Mature and very drinkable. Great food wine. (92p)
  Total score 90 points.
  I think it will keep and stay at this level for at least another 2-4 years. Kept very well and even improved slightly 2 days after opening (full, refrigerated bottle).
