September 23, 2023 - Opened approx 8-9 hours before serving. Booming nose right out of the gate. Classic Nebbiolo notes (bright cherries, tar) and some oak but a touch coiled up on the palate. With more time in the glass this continued to get better and the palate really blossomed. I love the balance of silky/polished without going to modern/glossy that Gaja seems to do so well. This has more density and weight on the palate compared to the leaner Produttori. Certainly on the youthful side but this has entered its early drinking window and should continue to develop and drink well for several decades. Air won’t hurt this if drinking now.

July 21, 2021 - Medium nose intensity with notes of cassis, black fruits, oak, toast. Still youth and decanted for 2 hours. Medium+ acidity and tannin.

April 29, 2021 - Just the slightest bricking on the oculus. Clear garnet on the balance. It’s barely opaque in the center of the Riedel Wine Wings stem. Black cherry, roses, slight bit of tar and even a hint of anise. What a nose - just want to keep sniffing- never mind drinking. But upon sipping, the soft tannins are still present. Acidity eventually kicks in bringing balance. Medium body at 14%. Long gorgeous finish. This still has miles of potential. 16 years old and 16 left. Did I mention the nose???

January 8, 2020 - Superb wine. Lucious cherry liquor, floral rose and violets, and mushroom funk. Big tannins but the fruit carries the wine. Lots of life in this. Sensational effort.
