The bouquet is quite locked at the moment. Primary fruit tastes on the palate. Cherries and black fruits. Ok bitterness and acidity. A little one-dimensional, but ok wine.

Beautiful bouquet with luxurious oak, fruits, some spiciness and earthy tones. On the palate the same plus good cherries and plums. Pleasant tannin which still has a good bite. The wine is reaching maturity and will offer pleasant drinking for at least the next 3+ years.
Still very primary fruits, mainly good cherries. Full bodied and tasteful. Ok tannin, bitterness and acidity. The wine is still closed and needs a few years to open up. At this moment it does not show much complexity.
This will be one TN for 2006, 2007 and 2008. Beautiful bouquet with cherries, subtle oak and some herbs. On the palate the same impressions with good acidity and soft and pleasant tannin. The 2006 already shows a little development and is in my eyes the most pleasant wine to drink now. The 2007 is a little more elegant and a bit more youthful. The 2008 is still very primary but the most juicy wine of the three vintages. With 3 years of ageing 2008 might show better than 2006.

Very ripe fruits in the bouquet. Blackberries, Raspberries and other forest fruits. Well dosed oak. Good tannin, acidity and bitterness. A well composed modern made mine. Can use a few years of ageing.
Beautiful somewhat perfumed bouquet with fruits and beautifully toasted oak. Very concentrated and juicy. Good herbs and spices (white pepper) and well dosed and integrated oak. A real pleasure already, but definitely a future of another 5+ years.
Very concentrated, but still completely locked. It is all there; a good mix of ripe red and black fruits. A mouth full. A lot of good tannin, acidity and bitterness and very well balanced. This bottle was popped and poured, while it should have been decanted for at least 6 hours. Give the wine at least 6+ years of ageing. 93+
Beautiful and well balanced wine with red and dark fruits, some herbs, spices and earthy tones. Good tannin and bitterness, but still very young. Give it 3+ years of ageing.
Marmalade of blackberries in the bouquet. Very ripe and juicy blackberries, blueberries and other ripe fruits. A lot of beautiful soft tannin and good acidity and bitterness. Still very youthful and will definitely improve with 4+ years of ageing. Great wine and it makes me want to have the Il Caberlot which I did not taste.
Very marmalade like bouquet. On the palate also a lot of ripe fruits; mainly good cherries, but also other red as well as dark fruits. Good juice, tannin and soft bitterness behind the sweetness.
A beast of a wine. Enormously concentrated and an enormous amount of sweetness. At this moment well held together by the oak and acidity. It is all very young, but the sweetness makes it easy to drink already. There is complexity and soft tannin hidden behind the sweetness and I really am curious how this will age. 94+
Beautiful and complex bouquet with red and black fruits, some spiciness and luxurious oak. The wine does not seem to be extremely concentrated, but is very elegant. Everything is in the right place with good fruits, tannin, acidity and bitterness. At this moment I was not extremely impressed, but the bottle was popped and poured. Needs some years to show its real complexity. My score for the moment is 94, but there is room for more.
Beautiful and firm nebbiolo, already showing some development in the bouquet as well as the taste. Forest fruits and earthy impressions. Pleasant tannin and acidity. Already a great pleasure to drink and it will probably age well for the next 3+ years.
Elegant and complex bouquet. Ripe fruits. Pleasant acidity and ok tannin. Exactly what you expect from an Italian Bordeaux blend. Already shows some development. Good harmony. Ready now and for the next 4+ years.
