  (Antonio Vallana e Figlio Spanna) Bricked medium red color with pale meniscus; intense roses, rose garden, floral, rose tea, dried cherry nose; tasty, youthful, dried cherry, tart cherry, strawberry, roses palate with great structure; long finish (Mannie Berk poured this blind, and the only clue was that it was a '67. From the fabulous nose we were initially guessing a Grand Cru Burgundy, like a Musigny, but didn't think one from '67 would be holding up this well. So guesses turned to '67 Hermitage and La Chappelle. What an amazing old Nebbiolo.)

  (Vallana Spanna) Rather dark color for such an old wine but had a beautiful nose of dried leaves, cherry fruit, roses and tar. Just classic. Palate tasted like the wine was 10-15 years old. Loads of sweet fruit with perfectly integrated tannins and a long finish. This wine had amazing purity and finesse.
