February 17, 2024 - Brought by MM. About 30 min - 1h after opening. Lovely, elegant aromas of ripe cherries, herbs, and rose. Palate is just beautiful - elegant and transparent. Just ripe cherries, herbs, bark, and minerals. The pronounced tannins kick in on the midpalate but the palate still remains lithe and elegant. There is definitely some ripeness to the fruit but the nice acids keep everything in check. So young with a lot of potential. 93+

January 27, 2024 - Colore rosso rubino scarico con riflessi granati. Naso intenso e incredibilmente leggiadro, con eleganti note floreali di testa, in particolare di rosa e violetta, profumi di frutti rossi di bosco (ribes e lampone), inebrianti e avvolgenti note di spezie, che si caratterizzano per una penetrante e rinfrescante componente balsamica. In bocca è vellutato, fresco ed esuberante, con tannini ben smussati e una piacevole e tagliente spina acida. Ottimo equilibrio al palato tra tensione e morbidezza. Finale medio-lungo.

November 25, 2023 - Very distinctive – not really anything like Langhe nebbiolos when it comes to the detail. Noticeable iron and plenty of spice. Doesn't need food as the acid/tannin hit is smooth. Lovely wine.

October 27, 2023 - BBQ at Jason's: Generously shared by the host. Lovely delicate, transparent red cranberry fruit, a little tannic bite of a classical Nebbiolo on the finish. Very approachable now and another producer that is always a winner.
