  More advanced brown and rusty rim than expected. Amazing fresh and spiced aromas. Fascinating entry. Cinnamon, cloves and explosion of wild blackberry, Gigantic finish. Delicate and very special. Gary says he might not guess Nebbiolo !

  Not impressive upon opening, with a Hugh kiss of licorice and subtle red fruits. Would give it 87 on opening. Totally changed after about 2.5 hours. Became much more earthy/mineraly with a good mouthfeel and decent finish. 91 at 2.5 hours.

  A 2015 Nebbiolo d'Alba from the sage himself, Bruno Giacosa, no surprises at this price point. Needs more time, as is often the case with Nebbiolo. It doesn't have the sheer dazzling profundity of a Barolo from the master, or the delicacy and restrained power of a Barbaresco, but it does possess impressive structure, density, and an underlying seriousness that is very appealing. Above that, there are these more nuanced fruity, spicy, truffly notes that make the whole thing pretty exciting.

  Paired with pizza and pasta. Should have bought more of these. Really lovely. Very crisp and almost crunchy in style. Red fruits. Not ripe at all. Restrained but you get that red fruit essence. It's a pretty wine.
