May 16, 2022 - A testament to unpredictability: Our previous bottle of this wine, two years ago, seemed on the verge of old age, with flavors of dried fruits and plum pudding. This bottle seemed just shy of maturity, with elevated acidity and robust tannins. It's still a compelling wine, with great depth and real Nebbiolo character, but the contrast with the previous bottle makes it hard to say what the appropriate drinking window is.

November 3, 2021 - Pleine maturité. Peu d'acidité. Délicieusement gourmand, sans férocité, sans doute au pic, au bord de la pente descendante. Il est temps de le déguster... la saison s'y prête (venaison, lièvre à la Royale). Dominante prune et mûre. Bel équilibre. Le Nebbiolo tout en noblesse.

October 2, 2020 - Lots of sediment, so best to stand it for a while before decanting. Drink now. Decadent aromas of plum pudding on a chewy, tannic base, with moderate acidity, fine balance. Alarmingly easy to drink.

September 8, 2018 - Sottimano with Elena Sottimano (Neive, Cuneo, Italy): Elena had no 2014 Currá to show us as it has been held back longer in bottle, she therefore opened a 2008 Currá. Elena mentioned that the 2008 was 20-25% new oak (as compared with 10% for more recent Cru). A lovely Barolo bouquet of red berries and cherries, soil and soy, a little minty. Pure and mineral on palate but with real power and weight. Red fruited with cocoa powder, warm earth and tartufo nero. Complex, deep and concentrated. A top wine of the day.
