Drank at Guido Ristorante in Fontanafredda. Amazing nose of tar, leather, and then some nice cherries coming out. Very secondary and tertiary. Incredibly fresh on the palate, good acidity, tannins still present, chalky but soft, great complexity with roses, cherries, leather, even menthol. Ending is medium long with lingering sensations of cherries. Great wine with a long life ahead still.

La Rosa 10 year vertical on Zoom with Fabio Bosio. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance medium intensity, ruby colour with garnet rim. Some sediment. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ almost pronounced intensity, with aromas of mushrooms, truffle, forest floor, old leather, dark red plums, black cherry, dried rose petals. Developed. On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol, integrated soft tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of savoury mushroom broth, earth, bit of soy, old leather, dark red plums, spiced dark cherries, hint of tea leaf. Long savoury mushroomy finish. Very good quality. In tertiary phase already. Is a drink up and enjoy soon for me.

Italian night; 3/21/2021-3/22/2021: Classic aged Nebbiolo, high acidity and some fading fruits. Better than 2000 tried previously but I thought this still lacked delineation and detail. With air, it put on tertiary notes of mushroom and damp forest floor.

(Decanted for two hours) Deep red colour with a brick red hue. Mature nose showing liquorice, dried fruit and some hip roses. Wi extended time it opens up with chocolate notes. Still showing some austerity from tannins on the palate combined with drying fruit and a nice intense sweetness on the lengthy finish. This is still drinking very well, but in a fully evolved style showing dried fruit. (Best 2016-2026)

Best La Rosa within the last 20-30 years. It is drinking beautifully with mostly tertiary characteristics now. Not much upside on cellaring.
