Superb Nebbiolo. Fully mature. While many wines have a predominate horizontal focus, this one plays elegantly over a range of vertical ones. Red fruit on the nose with some floral hints. Fine-grained tannins, fully-evolved. Simply a lovely wine. The second day, gassed, it lost a step or two, becoming a little less structured. Glad I have two more bottles in the cellar.

Lovely and velvety smooth; tannins fully resolved. Probably wouldn't wait any longer on this. Went very well with sautéed mushrooms with a tablespoon of 25 y/o Pedro Ximenez sherry vinegar over creamy polenta.

Definitely open for business but just a little too ripe for me. Tannins are relatively resolved but still very much there. Fruit is plentiful, too plentiful for my taste with some developing aromas. Oak (if there was any, and i am betting there was) seems to be fully resolved. I can see a lot of people digging this. I'm not one of them

Medium bodied, acid plus with spicy, ripe fruit. Velvety tannins. Medium length and pleasant finish.
