  Tasted blind, very clearly a big Nebbiolo. A blunt instrument, trading on power rather than sophistication. Dried red and black cherry, rose, cocoa powder, old leather. Very piquant acidity in the mouth and somewhat drying. This wasn’t finished quickly; perhaps a bit forced.

  A bit muted, slow to open up. Drank over 2 days. More classic on day 2. Hard to recall from a few months ago but I remember thinking "89"

  Pale garnet. Some hay funk on the nose and slightly smoky. Tannins quite softened, and a big bouquet of lavender as well as medium ripe cherry, cloves and tar. Medium length and fairly complex

  Following the 2000 Cicala, this was less impressive. More wood than fruit. Touch more tannic. Still lovely. Creamy dark fruit and spice. Shorter finish but nice balance. Needed 45min

  Wotn. Great bottle. Woody nose on open. Amazing after 3 hour decant. Big. Sweet fruit. Tannins relenting a bit. Thought I was going to hate it but absolutely loved it
