  nose if everything you could ask for, dense roses and dusty red cherries. on the palate lots of red fruit, raspberry, red cherry, dry, crushed roses, hints of vanilla in the back. plenty of tannins, slightly alcoholic on the finish.

  This wine needs another 3+ years IMO. Aerated and decanted for 2 hours and you still feel the grippy tannins that shorten the finish. If you are going to drink now do so with food. Nose is perfumed with dried cherry, iron notes and leather. Delicate color but has an irony backbone that should be fascinated in a few years.

  Decanted for three hours prior to tasting.
  Dark garnet color, cured meat nose.
  Lush black fruit, balanced by mouthwatering acidity. Grippy tannins, indicating that this is at the very front end of its maturity. I suggest holding off until 2028 or so before drinking another bottle.
  
  That said, it is a lovely wine, full of deep dark fruit notes. It is an excellent Nebbiolo that harkens to future greatness.

  First go w PdB’s Montefico Riserva (v16, 15% ABV, 16,666 bottles made), impressive wine shaping up to be the star PdB Riserva of the vintage! Gorgeous dark ruby, fully translucent in the glass. The wine exhales a magnetic, lively & completely open bouquet w aromas of rose petals, mix of fresh & ripe cherries, spices, tar & leather followed by a taut & energetic, juicy & fresh m+-bodied palate. Sleek (despite ABV) & supple, tangy, forward, elegant & pure, fine concentration, closing zesty, grippy-drying & powerful. Not a single thing out of place - just young with potential upscore w further time in bottle.
