March 21, 2015 - Bel colore intenso (per un Nebbiolo) e maturo.
Splendidamente goudroneggiante e complesso: catrame, bella balsamicità, leggeri sentori di amaro alle erbe alpine (tipo Braulio), spezie dolciastre, tocchi di cardamomo, liquirizia, tamarindo, terra umida, aperture di mentolo.
In bocca molto equilibrato ed elegante: tannini di velluto, avvolgente, ancora molto succoso nonostante gli anni, notevolmente persistente, lunghissimo.
Barbaresco a dir poco eccellente, ad un punto ottimale di affinamento. Non so come sia stato in gioventù (non l'ho mai bevuto prima), ma ad oggi è un vino stupendo.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 31, 2013 - New Year's Eve in Aveiro - Portugal (Marcia's Home): Bad starting cause that low quality cork.
Nedding some time to blow up. Then complex nose of meat, earth, varnish and black truffles is shown.
On the palate it is a delicate, silky wine with an elegant texture and finish.
Modern? Could be but at this point, absolutely delicious matching a sucking pig.
Mal comienzo por ese corcho de dudosa calidad.
Necesitando algo de tiempo para abrirse. Después muestra una nariz compleja a carne, tierra, barniz y trufa negra.
En boca es un vino delicado, sedoso con una elegante textura y final.
¿Moderno? Así sería pero en este momento es absolutamente delicioso acompañando un lechón al horno. -

December 25, 2011 - Very nice right out of the bottle. My only one. Not particularly deep but no hard edges and a nice complement to short ribs on Christmas day. Was gone before we knew it.
