Beautiful nose of light, sweet red fruit, roses, tar and mushroom. Great color, depth and balance. More sweet fruit came out over time with perfectly resolved tannin and exquisite balance. For me, at peak now and will hold.

Excellent showing for a somewhat rustically styled wine. Softened tannins, complex bouquet of leather and spice box, well integrated and so on. Lovely match with grilled swordfish and white beans

Wine Workshop: White Label Giacosa and White Truffles (Locanda Verde): First wine of the tasting and also one of my most favorites of the evening. It's all there is to love with Giacosa wines. Very elegant and refined, red fruits, some pepper, a long finish. There's a hint of menthol but in a nice way that adds some complexity to the wine. Just wonderful. Saved my last sip for the very end of the night and it was good from beginning to end.

Incredible conditions. Slow-oxed 11 hours prior to serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Flower” day): Pale ruby with bricking rims. Only bits of fine deposits.
Red cherries, florals and fine white spices in general.
More forward in general, but heaps of minerality and fine acidity.
94-95 points easy.
2nd round, about 1/2 bottle in: more fine spices and layered this round.

Drinking very well. Quite alive, good red fruits, a potpourri of leather/spices/truffle/balsamic and spice. Mostly resolved tannins. Excellent.
