Wine was great. Definitely getting heavier, medium to full bodied, tannins have been tamed, good balance, structure and complexity, dark color,the transformation of the wine over the years has been fascinating, started out a bit raisiny but it opened up quickly as we drank it, drank with veal chops which was a great pairing, need to find this wine in other vintages.

2006 LUIGI NERVI GATTINARA- Blind: 100% Nebbiolo; from the Northwest region of Piedmont, this is made from a blend from three different crus: Molsino, Valferana and Casazza; I`ve enjoyed this release as far back as the mid 90s; It`s been a consistent winner showing well when young and having the potential to age as well as being a great QPR; our bottle had a washed out pale ruby colour with an orange rim; it gave cedar, mushroom and leather accented dried dark fruit; underlying tannins provide structure for long term ageing.
