First bottle of six. Very strong fruit front end, with softness unusual in a nebbiolo. After 30 mins or so, the backbone begins to show up with a bit more of the tannic bite and power. Definitely not my favorite Nebbi but a nice change of pace. Can satiate my nebbiolo addiction at least a bit... Will see how this develops over the next few years.

This is a terrific Sonoma cab, with classic tartness and tannic grip. $80 at the winery, Costco is selling this for $20. Ridiculous QPR. Great with pizza or petite filet, for 20 bucks, this is the steal of the year. Went back and bought a case. Will be fun to drink at any time - plus to see if it will age.

WOW. That is almost the only thing I can say.

This wine has tremendous potential and in twenty or thirty years time, this will sing like angles from above. HOLY SHIT!

Opened 04.00, consumed at 24.50, so twenty hours after triple decant this monster of a wine did not leave much. A HOLY BLOCK of cassis was it. You could only hint slight notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and some meat. But OH the potential. This a wine with status of "BUY ON SIGHT".

Keep for the next 20-30 years and this baby will reward you ever so kindly.
