Sweet core of cherry jolly ranchers enveloped in delicate perfume & tannins. Tar, acid, florals. Quenching finish. A true gourmand wine. Superb, and an incredible value. — a month ago

A rush of sweet red cherry, tobacco, mint, dried flowers and cedar hits the palate as this racy, deep, beautifully proportioned Nebbiolo shows off its considerable allure. Readers will have a hard time finding a wine from any region that delivers this much pleasure and character for the money. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020) — 2 years ago

A much darker color than I would have expected from a 52 year old wine. Powerful, youthful and complex aromas of plums and tobacco. At this point your mind is racing , can the palate equal or exceed the nose because you know if it can you are in for a treat. A very alive , acid driven palate of plums, cherries and tea. Had an old vine creaminess component. After approximately 2 hours the wine started to take on a less open personality. — 3 years ago

What a wine and what a bargain. This is a Nebbiolo based blend from the far north of Piedmonte. Big, ripe, a bit tannic but very drinkable. And a 2009 library release just out for $22?! Will be back to get in volume. — 2 years ago

Wowza, as good as the 14 was, the 15 is frickin amazing, its great now, filled with blood orange flavor, minerals and fresh acidity. It will also age for a long time and be better. What a great buy — 4 years ago

This is dark and primary still. A tarry nose with a medicinal twist (Benadryl?). The palate is ripe and blocky. Few signs of its substantial age- deep and rich. Like an old school Cornas. Apparently these has 3-6 months contract with skin with minimal punching down which explains their unusual longevity. Amazing stuff. — 4 months ago

The eternally understated Spanna from Piemonte is elegant, with notes of earth, black and red fruits and significant length. Am@always baffled why these come with such good QPR! — 8 months ago
