This is the only version of this article / View version history
Bottled november 2008.
Tasted several times.
A little bit reductive on the nose.
Normally not a big fan of decanting nebbiolo, but this needs it.
Smell of cherries, some cool, dark fruit and leather. This is how all young nebbiolos should smell!
On the palate it confirms the nose. Starts with the dark fruit and shows incredible tannin quality.
Here the old vines really show, and the smooth parfumed fruit together with the mineral/stoniness of Vigna Rionda sits for ages.
96 points.
