Leo's Blind Tasting Group - Oct '15 edition (Ben's): This has that old Nebbiolo character in spades - layers of savoury tarry, earthy, and smoky notes framing red berried fruit and dried rose petals. Very pretty to smell, but it comes across a bit austere on the palate, with the fruit a bit thin and the acidity rather sharp. Really interesting, though somewhat charmless.

Alto Piemonte (The Gander, NYC): Nose of tar and poo. Tart sour cherry. This should be better.

CAV old wines tasting (Brussels): Served blind.
From Double-magnum.
Very developed with earthy notes. Very high acidity and pleasant fruit.
