  • Deep, plummy, hint of leather, not overmade. Still quite young (especially in this magnum format). Slipped down very easily despite being 15%, though we did feel the effects later!

  • Autumn forest, herbs and spices, earth. Juicy red and dark berries, good acidity and drying tannin. Beautiful wine.

  • I am usually not the biggest fan of these Barbera/Nebbiolo blends but here it just works very beautifully (another one that works for me is the Paitin). Explosive and perfumed aromatics of black cherries, plum, licorice, cloves, dark chocolate and some leather and tobacco. Overall very sexy and seductive. It's medium-full-bodied but has lovely balance with medium tannin and medium+ acidity providing nice freshness. Good length. This is drinking perfectly right now, not sure if aging will add anything... a very pretty and seductive wine.

  • Surprisingly open and expressive at this point. Huge and gorgeous midpalate offering plummy candied fruit, leather, tobacco, licorice and subtle balsamic notes that unfolds in the glass. Clearly from a warmer vintage and it almost gets a voluptuous expression- in the sexy and opulent sense of the word.
    That said this is still a wine I believe to improve. It is just so hard not to drink it right now.
    Depending on development it might get an even better score in few years from now.
