  So very impressive with large scale and power yet graceful and refined. Perhaps not quite to it's peak drinking window, as seems to be the case with many of the 01 Riserva wines at this stage. Upside from here.

  Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VIII (Chicago, IL): #993. Sadly the only sound bottle in the G. Mascarello flight. But what a bottle it was. It's like the regular Monprivato but amped up to the next level. That said, this isn't as expressive and open as the best bottles of the 2001 from last year; this is a wine that needs more time because of its still very firm core of fruit and tannin. But the pure red fruit and crystalline quality is present here, and it's just a matter of time until it unfurls into a very magnificent wine.

  Beautiful pure red fruit. Powerful but not heavy. Structure is there but well hidden and this is drinking beautifully.

  Forget the tasting window on the website . Second bottle tasted in a couple of months and this is still tight and tannic . Took a bottle to Otto Mezzo in HK and seemed thin at first but well done to the sommelier who quadruple decanted and it really started to open up once the tannins softened but still think this will be much better in another 3-5 years .

  Gorgeous fruit. Cherry, figs, notes of vanilla and depth of flavour. Almost seemed a bit young with a good tannic backbone but was open for busy with a slight brooding quality. Pair with red meat dishes. Very masculine wine. 94
