Flavors of rich, ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit. A bit shy at first, but flavors emerged with 20 minutes of air. Good acidity and tannins are lightly prickly. While this should keep through the end of the decade, I don’t see much upside in holding.

Quite rich on the nose with some appealing Chinese spice and fennel backed up by dark fruit.
Medium bodied on the palate, and whilst pretty true to it's roots, there is decent concentration, especially considering this is their basic Gattinara.
Wonderful value.

De meia garrafa! Um baita Nebbiolo do norte do Piemonte! Já com interessante evolução aos 9 anos, embora, aparentemente ainda no início de sua ótima e provavelmente longa janela de consumo! É um vinho bastante longevo! Bela cor grená translúcida. Ótimo e complexo nariz, que evocou cerejas, folhas secas, cravo, madeira velha, ervas, sutil alcatrão e um bom toque mineral. Encorpado, muito equilibrado, tendo um fino sabor agridoce, bela estrutura tânica, excelente acidez e notável persistência.

Impressive. Complex. Ageing potential

Much better than the last bottle; Good blackberry fruit and soft tannins and balanced finishing acidity. This is coming into it's own now.
