  Impressive- after a decade still young and energetic- beautiful nose - reminds me of a Valtellina - some alpine, bordering on mint on the nose - the darker side of Nebbiolo but with a streak of mint. Really shined on day 2 - I should revisit my last bottle in at least a few years - plenty of tannic power. Outstanding QPR

  黑樱桃、甘草、丁香、皮革、泥土和焦油，香气中的果味有所欠缺，只能靠入口后的酸度来维持清新感，但在较重的桶味与单宁的夹攻下，依然略显疲态。状态似乎受了保存的影响，没能展现应有的水平。

  A bit of spice on the nose, tar, nose a bit tight - tannins in a good place for me - well pronounced - nice acidity and long finish. Drinking well - needs a bit of air but overall solid.

  Oh man I love this wine. I've loved it since my first bottle out of this case, and now I only have 2 left. I hope I can keep my hands off them, because this is going places for sure. It's only a step down from Barolo - makes sense since they didn't classify anything in 2014, to my knowledge, and the class shows. There's power and elegance here, way above the level of most langhe nebbiolo. Much darker and more serious than the Produttori, which we also buy and enjoy. Despite how stacked this is, it is still totally slurpable. I should buy this ever year. While not every year is as good as this one, I've never had one where I didn't wish I'd bought more. Darn good juice.

  This is in a really good place. Nice structure, dark fruit, some earth and leather, and a nice finish. Glad I waited to drink.
