After the underwhelming experience of the 2005s I did not have high expectations of the 2006. It was therefore a pleasant experience to crack my first of my case and find a wine with character, depth and structure, that is food friendly and approachable now. It won't break your heart, or your wallet, but it is an honest, enjoyable wine that is drinking well now.

Earth, tar, menthol, and a bit of smoke. Still quite chewy and tannic but has a lush mouthfeel and a fairly complex finish. Excellent quality at this level.

Nice wine and a great way to experience Nebbiolo for a reasonable price. Decanted for an hour; Classic nose of violets and tar, very pretty; Light and intense on the palate with cherries earth minerals and good acidity; Nice medium finish; Rustic, charming and very enjoyable. Make sure it is slightly chilled when served. Held up nicely in days 2 and 3.

Extra time in the cellar was worth the wait for this bottle. Supple and full-flavored, with excellent structure. To me, an amazing value.
