  Still holding on, but this is a drink now to me. Has the violets on the nose and some scents cherry and mint. Was very light on the palate though, some cherry fruit but not overly prominent and falling off for a somewhat short finish. Still for declassified grapes from a vintage with no declared wines from the main Giacosa production, this was an interesting look at what was possible in a quite difficult year for them.

  Nice Nebbiolo, in a good place now. The fruit is red to dark tones, the palate is round and soft, the tannins light, and the overall impression is a cohesive, balanced, pretty wine. The fruit darkens with air. Nice midweek wine, drinking well.

  On the first night, somewhat murky and uninteresting. But on the second and third nights, just lovely - the cherry fruit is at the fore, surrounded by softening yet still puckering tannins, and lots of Nebbiolo perfume and charm.

  A crystalline delicate Nebbiolo, shy and tannic out of the bottle, in the decanter this opened up. Delicious, refined and fresh strawberry, tar and rose flavours are well presented. Most definitely not a baby Barolo due to the lack of power but an excellent Nebbiolo all the same. 90

  Excellent and already available young Nebbiolo from Bruno Giacosa, I wish I had more bottles of this one.
