Really lovely, classic Nebbiolo with a floral nose & light floral fruit notes upfront on the palate followed by classic tar & dark fruit. Tannins were certainly present on late palate & finish, but relatively mild after over a decade of age.

Frutas vermelhas maduras, mineral. Otima acidez, taninos ainda presentes mas de boa qualidade. Boa a longa persistencia. Muito gostoso. Melhorou no copo o que pode indicar que deve ficar mais tempo em garrafa.

Decanted and had with a meal at a local restaurant. Full bodied wine with an earthy nose. About an hour into the decant the wine opened up with flavors of violet, dark fruits, some tobacco nice acidity up front. The mid-to-finish is dominated by tannins and this could use a year or two more to tone down a bit. Overall a nice bottle to go with a hearty meal.

Very good wine, full flavored, earthy, .....drank with some awesome ribeyes. Even though this was a 2001 i think 2011 was a bit early. Good wine!
