At Coci Northpark San Diego. The wine. Food excellent. Very very difficult to evaluate. I think they used too much oak on this. Ridiculous big and tannic even after 12 years. And after 90 minutes. I tough it is corked at first and even at 60min. Tobacco, cigar box. Touch cherry hint of prune plum. And better with a t-bone than with the light Italian food.I think they really overdid it to please - May be Robert Parker - at the time? Give it at least 2 hours to breathe before serving!!!! — 19 hours ago

Too young but insane potential...going to buy more. Love this wine and its depth and complexity. Paired well with venison. — 2 months ago

Outstanding alpine nebbiolo from the Carema co-op, a gorgeous wine value for any Piedmont or nebbiolo fan. Elegant, typical of Carema, with the classic notes of cherry, currants, tar and roses. Supple structure, med body, med/med+ acids and tannin, med+ flavor intensity and finish. — 10 days ago

Our princess her birthday. Time for the yearly 2011. This Sammarco was soo good. A bit of VA in the nose, sweet start and than the acidity kicks in. Very balanced. And quite some time ahead. Wow! — 2 months ago

This wine is dark purple/garnet in the glass. The nose offers up considerable black fruit, such as blackberries, plums, and blackcurrant. It also offers up considerable oak effect, even though the wine’s exposure to wood was minimal. The oak comes through heavily on the palate as well, obscuring some nice dark fruit flavors. The artwork on the label is nice, but the artwork inside the bottle can’t live up to it. — a month ago
