  • A solid wine, but slightly underwhelming for Giacosa. Maybe it’s 03, or that it needs more time.

  • Light garnet-orange in color. Reticent aromas of dark candied raspberries, dried florals and menthol. A medium bodied palate shows silky crushed black raspberries and cherries, medium acidity, hint of brown sugar, silky tannins and a fruity finish.

  • From magnum, which probably matters a lot. This was a hot vintage everywhere, but you wouldn’t really know that from this bottle except that it drinks forward right now. Light color and body backed up by firm acids and fine tannins that are evident but not distracting. Sweet red fruit with rose petal, black tea and light menthol. Some meaty notes. We will save some of this for tomorrow and it will be interesting to see what happens. But I love this tonight. There is no real evidence that this is a huge heat wave year. Bravo.

  • I bought two bottles of this wine years ago as birth year wines for my daughter. The ripeness of the vintage had me scared a bit, so I wanted to try one to see if it was even worth waiting much longer to enjoy the other on her 21st birthday. This wine had so much grip and structure, great fruit profile with no signs of pruning or over-ripeness - a testament to how the legendary producers in any region can handle a super ripe vintage. Very pleasantly surprised - far more structure than any other wine in the lineup, and quintessential gum-and-cheek assaulting superfine dry tannins - classic first rate Nebbiolo character
