December 19, 2016 - Has an earthy, saline nose. Smooth mouthfeel and medium acidity. Tannins are still quite firm and a little rough. There's a savory beef-like character on the palate, which moves away to reveal a lingering but subtle black cherry finish.

October 7, 2015 - Opened and poured 1 glass on day 1, vacuvined and left on counter for 4 days - note from day 5. Nose: Medium expressiveness, candied cherry and bluberry, hints of pine and tar. Palate: Medium bodied, well balanced, red fruit and spice attack, nice mid-palate acidic presence to provide balance, back-end shows some earthy tones and ripe red fruit. Finish: Medium length, dominated by ripe red fruit, earth, and hints of spice. This sat, forgotten, on the counter for 4 days after opening (and vacuvining), and held up amazing well - as only a Nebbiolo would likely do. Not a great wine, but shows great character and staying power, if nothing else - a rare great value at <$20 from the Piedmonte.

February 19, 2014 - Delicate for a Nebbiolo wine. Color is unusually clear ruby. Light weight mouth feel, yet sturdy flavors through out. Red cherry and cranapple? notes. Finishes with a surprise tart tannic bite. This is an Italian that can be enjoyed without food. More finesse than brawn, but not wimpy. Enjoyable.

April 26, 2013 - Decanted 90 mins. Still quite tight, especially in the aroma. A little bitter, but smoothed out with food. That classic descriptor of "tar and roses" works here, with some cherries and black tea. After 4+ hours, a cigar box aroma started to emerge. I don't know that this will ever be a great wine, but a few years could certainly improve it. http://bit.ly/16wsGFD
