starting to show some bricking around the rim, the nose is really terrific with cedar, spice, light floral notes. Tannins are still quite assertive and a bit drying. Fruit seems to be fading, so depending on how you like these will determine further cellaring. I've got three left, and will open then over the next few years to see if this goes anywhere (and by few, I probably mean 10 or so).

Not a style of wine I enjoy. Very leathery and tannic. I am obviously an outlier here. Tasted against two 2001 Riservas. This 2000 is rounder than the 2001s.

I like it a lot, brick orange around the rim, It is typically from Gatinara wine, perfectly balances ,floral , spices and earthy.

Red fruit (cherry), strong floral/ rose, nice spice, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.
