Senses immediately overloaded, in a good way, with a bouquet of lavender tea, smoked cherrywood, tobacco, cedar, vanilla, and as someone here astutely observed, Alpine herbs. Buried underneath that is wild mushroom, wild raspberries, and cherries. Lasting nice finish, though a bit heavy on the alcohol compared to its southern nebbiolo cousins, but given the sforzato Amarone-like production process, this makes senses. One of the finest reds I've had in some time, certainly on par or better than the other nebbiolo I've tasted.

Better yet, I scored this for a steal of a price at a local Total Wine who either thought this was too old or didn't know what they had. — a month ago

Medium rubi robe, nose of crushed flowers, top soil and spices. Very elegant and well done, accessible now if decanted, good wine for cellaring. Thats a classical Barolo with all it takes to please. — 8 months ago

Absolutely Needs a 30 minute decant. Discombobulated on open. Do NOT drink on open.

Nose is medium cherry and cherry flower. As it opens nose is a basket of flowers. Violets. Lilacs. Lavender. Daaaaaamn negri. Really crazy assed addictive. Like a drug. An alternative reality that sucks you in.

Palate is silky cherries. Some spice. Grippy tanins that melt after 30. A hint of chocolate. A hint of cherry licorice. Juicy. Such sweet hedonistic fruit. Jamalamadingdong.

Nice juicy licorice finish.
