I could smell this wine for days. It has been forgotten in the corner of my cellar for a decade. Decided to open on a pretty, sunny Good Friday. What a gorgeous bouquet! Clearly aged but plenty left. Brick-ish brownish red color, with a nose that you could smell for days. Dusty, dried red cherries and dried strawberries, with plenty of dried rose petals and dried tobacco. There is a mineral-copper quality that is simply delightful. It tastes great, but the beauty is in the nose. Why oh why don't I have more of these?!

This was quite nice. High toned red fruit, cherry, some floral and earthy accents coming through in the secondary characteristics. In a very good spot right now.

This was a very welcome addition to my Alto Piemonte nebbiolo collection. Great value for the price. Nose was redolent of sweet tar with a mineral background. Palate was medium body texture with big nebbiolo dark fruit flavor with an earthiness and generally savory quality, backed up with good acidity and a modest hit of tannins at the end.

Really nice, integrated and balanced bottle. The acidity combined well with the dark and bright red fruits to create a well balanced palate. Nose perfumed and earthy fruit.

Even a little richer than the bottle last year. See previous notes -- this bottle was on the same wavelength but a bit sharper.
