Deep reddish tawny color, mostly translucent. Floral nose. Notes of red fruit, rose petals, dark soil, smoked meat and blood sausage, and a little anise. Rich and powerful in the mouth. Still has some tannin. Gets bigger with air over the evening. This came across as a somewhat different bottle of juice than the 70 Monprivato next to it - with the 70 being more aged-Barolo like, and the 78 being more of a hearty Cote-Rotie or something. Nevertheless everyone loved this and having the two side-by-side. — 8 days ago

The 2021 Nebbiolo Rusin opens slowly in the glass, displaying dried apricots, peach skins and sweet smoke. Soothing textures with brilliant acidity enriches its white cherry-berry fruits. Minerality and sour citrus linger as the 2021 tapers off with fine tension. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2022) — 4 days ago

Wrong wine in Delectable: this is not the "Vigneto Rocche" but the "Rocche dell'Annunziata", the famous La Morra vineyard that Accomasso and several other great producers make a little wine from.

This is classic and textbook Nebbiolo that shows the rounder plusher side to the La Morra tannin structure, though they are very present but starting to resolve. Beautiful notes of raspberry, cherry, tar and roses jingles with savory spices. Med/med+ ruby, then med+ all the way across the nose and palate to the finish. — 10 days ago

Nose is cherry liquor. Intense.

Palate is so precise. Perfect late early season cherries.

Very young.

Needs a 2 hour decant. Then you get the density.

Taken to Selby's in Redwood City. Tawny color, with a deep reddish center and clear rims. Almost opaque. Awesome aged Barolo nose. Notes of a cup of dark red fruit, tea, rose petals, anise, mocha and some balsamic thing. Great balance of the remaining fruit with softened tannins. In a great spot for drinking. — 7 days ago

A crazy wine. Grenache from Piedmont.

Nose is exultant blackberries. Almost jammy. But some uplifting spice. Herb bouquet. Wow.

Palate is rich. Chocolate. Blackberries. Spice. Bramble.

Crazy chocolate covered blackberries on the finish.

Needs a 30 minute decant.

Yikes. 45 minutes in elite deliciousness. Almost a porty aspect. Damn this is good.

Licorice and red fruits. Incredibly precise. From 80+ years old vines in monopoly since 1990. Drinks beautifully now but definitively another 20 years to go. — a day ago

Can see the enhanced spice and integration with this Riserva bottling. One of the more gentle palate “vineyards” from PdB when compared to Rabaja or Mocungatta. — a day ago
