Bricking color. Aromas of tobacco, dusty flowers, pine on the nose. Soft around the edges, dark plum notes, tobacco and underbrush. Cool and collected, on the elegant side. It’s a nice wine, works well with cote de veau with mushrooms.

Just as terrific as the last bottle opened in 2014. Classic Nebbiolo notes of tar, smoke and roses. The fruit is at the dark end of the spectrum. The floral marks I noticed in 2014 are still there. Great acidity, very strict and focused wine.

Tar and roses on the nose, along with bit of delightful barnyard. Palate has big fruit dominated by black cherries, significant acidity. Definite tannins puckering at the end. The end to this lovely vintage....

Tar and roses on the nose, along with bit of funk. Big fruit, significant acidity. Significant tannins puckering at the end. My sense is that this is the last year for this vintage. Still delicious, but a hint of being less robust than the last bottle.

Light red color. Nose of flowes, tar, tobacco. Light and elegant on the palate, dusty fruit, tar and tobacco notes. Understated, lovely.
