2006-2008 Nebbiolo Tasting (Bologna): Served double blind. Last battery, also the least one. Very tertiary at the beginning, then more typical. In the mouth muscles and tannins. Not my favourite today, only better than 2006 Brezza Bricco Sarmassa. 88-89

Nebbiolo 1999-2009 at Gemma. Tasted blind. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with primary aromas of dark red cherries, black cherries, tobacco. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), very structured high tannins, full body. Medium+ almost pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of spicy toast oak, dark red cherries, black cherries, dark plums, sweet tar earth, tobacco. Long finish. Very very good quality. Easy to guess this. Modern styled. Great stuffings, but clearly still not fully ready yet. Maybe I should keep my remaining bottle another 8-10 years.

Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 2006 Magnum. En rustikk årgang. Dog i de rette hender og på rett tidspunkt er det akkurat "just what the Doctor ordered " For meg på et perfekt sted nå. Vil sikkert holde i 20-30 år til i dette formatet, men her er det sunn frukt, spice, spenst og fullt av liv. Strukturen er passe nedslipt og bøttevis med sjarm og drikkeglede. Høy konsentrasjon og fin friskhet. Lang strukturert finish med markante pene tanniner. Nydelig nå og en lang stund fremover. 93p+

Tight and alcoholic initially, but came into focus after a 2hr decant. Garnet color with herbs and red fruit on the nose. Lots of ripe cherries and red fruit, smoothly integrated tannins, and some leather and licorice. This is really delicious and drinking wonderfully; I hope to buy more.
