Never had a wine from Canada, and this is a fresh, citrus, melon to introduce me to the grandeur! — 9 months ago

Has unforced grandeur and grace, rare qualities these days. Full aromatic range, low notes are resplendent. — 3 years ago

Valmaggiore; a superiour vineyard in Roero. The sandier soils brings finesse, elegance and a more approachable and instant wine compared to the big boys of Barolo and Barbaresco. This treasure with the legend Bruno Giacosa behind the wheel must be a hallmark example from the cru. Enchanting and mesmerizing nose showcasing the grandeur of Nebbiolo with a varietal, red fruit-rosy primary character and a pronounced savoury and earthy background. Good grip on the palate with fine knitted and gripping tannins and a salivating acidity that is bringing a balanced act through the finish. — 5 years ago

"On 16 October 1989, Giacomo Bologna carried out a late harvest of Barbera, contrary to the advice given to him by everyone. "Ai Suma!", "We did it", he exclaimed as he tasted the wine: a new Braida Barbera was born from his foresight and stubbornness. Since 1989, it's only produced in the best vintages." (copied from Braida webpage). Today, for example, one can marvel at how lasting his legacy has been in the 97 Ai Suma. In its 23rd year this wine still smells and tastes great. Especially the shares of tertiary aromas like espresso, leather or warm, moist forest soil are wonderfully interwoven with the remains of an expressive fruit of dark berry fruits, plums, liquorice as well as balsamic notes. Dense on the palate, with a nice melting, remains of round, grainy tannins and a moderate acidity. The acidity is rather moderate, yet the wine is drinkable, because the "fat" of its youth has integrated and the wine shows today - at the age of 23 years a nice balance and ends long. Even a certain grandeur may be attested to it. 93 points 2020-2025 — 4 years ago

I don’t think I have ever had a bottle that so accurately reflected faded grandeur than this one. Well past it’s peak this wine has lush plum fruit, a superb balance but lacking in length and finish. It is likely quite asymmetric to its market prices. Went well with steak, — 3 years ago

Tart apricot. Oxidative, honeyed. A baby at nearly ten years. Many rivers to cross, only lacking the grandeur, expansiveness, and suavity of its big brother. — 5 years ago
