  Brooding nose with quite a lot of oak, dark fruit, chocolate, a sort of lifted herbal character that I could almost mistake for cork taint.
  On the palate it's ripe, but lots of acidity to keep it very fresh. The tannins are massive and a bit dominant.
  [The next day the second half of this bottle (the first half coravined) benefitted from some air, the musty/herbal smell blew off completely and it became more integrated on the palate.]

  A fabulous wine showing black cherries, loads of tar, prunes, sultanas, figs, dried cranberries, as well as floral and dry forest floor.
  The massive tannins are of the finest quality and sweet in character.
  The finish lasts for some 40 seconds.
  This is another proof for me that Barolo and Barbaresco together with red Burgundy are the greatest red wines in the world by a considerable margin.

  Color is red and brown, deep and thick. Nose of violet, blackberries, wood. In the mouth gives the most: orange marmalade, woods undergrowth, vanilla and then ham. Tannis are beautiful, perfect, intriguing. Super sexy wine. Please don't forget to let it breathe.

  Dieci Anni bottle. Pop and poured at Table at 7 for wife's birthday.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of floral violets, baby powder, earthy iron minerality, licorice. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), fine gum-drying high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of black cherries, red cherries, lots of licorice, earthy minerality, and mint. With more air, lots of tar emerges. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Competently made wine. Elegant yet powerful structure. Classic Nebbiolo elements and also showing some modern style leanings.
  Seems to be prime drinking now. Maybe another 1-2 years if desire more tertiary upfront.
  From Rombone cru in Treiso. Aged for 1 year in large botti and a further 1 year in small barriques.
