  Great fruit on the nose out the gate. Was really worried it might be past peak, maybe considerably so. It is doing way way more than I thought. Plenty of tannins left. Many have softened, but still nice structure. Still good fruit. Nebbiolo flavors. Softened inky-ness. Just way better than I was thinking.

  A bit stewed on the nose but quite earthy on the palate. I do not have a lo of experience with Gattinara, but this was impressive. Maybe a bit old but Very Good. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Nose of anis and spice wit Slight hint of bright fruit. Rich deep color . Round taste with medium long finish. This wine can hold its own with Barolo although it might not have the capacity to age. beyond 10-12 years.

  Very Tight, but gradually opened up as the evening wore on. Noticeable acidity and firm tannins which suggests this could sit in the cellar for a few more years. Had at birthday celebration at Bern's Steakhouse to pair with steak tartar. Trey Christy recommendation.
