App: brick red with brown/orange rim Aroma: very nice an intense nebbiolo nose with fresh roses, tar, licorice, spice, some cherries and a touch of cow shed. A faint hint of oak. Nice! Medium-bodied with excellent acidity and very available, but supporting tannins. Medium+ length.
A fully matured nebbiolo, drink up! An impressive nose, but doesn't quite follow up on the palate. A great wine, but slightly over the top.

Excellent mature nebbiolo on the nose. On the first day I found the smell to be better than the taste which had a bit too thin fruit against the alcohol. But I still found it to be very good considering the price. Four days after it suddenly all came together in perfect balance. Excellent QPR

A bit flat at this point, past it's prime. Better smell than taste. But still a great price for an old nebbiolo ("chiavannasca").

Great and still youthful Valtellina. Better nose than taste.
