September 22, 2017 - Still holding on, but this is a drink now to me. Has the violets on the nose and some scents cherry and mint. Was very light on the palate though, some cherry fruit but not overly prominent and falling off for a somewhat short finish. Still for declassified grapes from a vintage with no declared wines from the main Giacosa production, this was an interesting look at what was possible in a quite difficult year for them.

December 15, 2013 - A crystalline delicate Nebbiolo, shy and tannic out of the bottle, in the decanter this opened up. Delicious, refined and fresh strawberry, tar and rose flavours are well presented. Most definitely not a baby Barolo due to the lack of power but an excellent Nebbiolo all the same. 90

March 13, 2013 - Excellent and already available young Nebbiolo from Bruno Giacosa, I wish I had more bottles of this one.
