  April 16, 2023 - The wine, when first opened, remains shy on the nose, but its structure is excellent despite the suboptimal bottle conditions. After a brief contact with oxygen, it immediately reveals itself as the great wine it is. The fruit is still present but definitely in the background, while earthy and mineral notes take the spotlight along with beautiful spices ranging from cinnamon to licorice to tobacco. A lovely hint of beeswax permeates the senses. On the palate, it settles after almost 2 hours, with Nebbiolo tannins that are still present but well-polished, a velvety texture, and acidity that still supports the drinkability. Incredible persistence.
  
  
  Vino che appena stappato rimane timido al naso, la forma però è ottima nonostante le condizioni della bottiglia non fossero ottimali. Dopo un breve contatto con l'ossigeno riesce subito a farsi riconoscere per il grande vino che è. Il frutto è ancora presente ma decisamente in secondo piano, le note terrose e minerali sono protagoniste insieme ad una bellissima speziatura che va dalla cannella alla liquirizia al tabacco, una bellissima nota di ceralacca che ti pervade. in bocca si assesta dopo quasi 2 ore, tannino ancora da nebbiolo ma molto ben levigato, consistenza vellutata e una acidità ancora in grado di sostenere la beva. Persistenza incredibile.

  April 30, 2009 - Nice red fruit, rather sweet, but with scents of licorice, red berries. It was probably best a few years ago. Drink up.
