A wine of wisdom, created in a difficult year. Deep red color, complex nose. Dominant silkyness on the palate, ripe dark cherries, black currant, vanilla, cacao, sandalwood. Deep and long. A wine for deeper thoughts on the essence of life.

Dark in colour but some green, iron notes on the nose. A touch austere on the palate. As always, something very characteristic and terroir-driven about this though which I love - probaby suggestion to say its silver but that always comes to mind. As an aside, a wine with a story to it for my wife and I so love that also. Looking forward to the better 04s and 06s.

Love this stuff. Definitely lacks the fruit of the 04 but still has that characteristic lush spice richness. Looking forward to the 06 as the next step and then revisiting from the 04 in a few years.

lunch with Lombardia Nebbiolo (Ristorante Tra Querce e Arte, Monchiero Alto, Piemonte): quality tertiary aromas, dense, round tannins, heavy, spicy, somewhat jammy.
