This surpasses the 2015 in my estimation. Concentrated, powerful, complex and simply delicious. Outstanding vintage with plenty of stuffing for the cellar. — 10 days ago

Fantastic. Nose is elemental at this point with cherries, violets, perfume, and minerals, but still closed. Palate is packed with young Nebbiolo greatness. Red-fruited concentration, acidity, prickly tannins. No doubt this is a 30 year wine. 9.2++ — 23 days ago

Floral, strawberry, cherry, leather, searing acid, screaming tannins. I see where Nebbiolo gets it from. A beautiful wine, but definitely needs time. — 25 days ago

Kind of menthol aftertaste I assume is from the vespolina. Sweet fruit and lush texture but not about that pall mall cigarette finish. Library release 2010. — 8 days ago

Plummy, earthy nose doesn’t show much. But the palate is expansive and rich, with classic earthy Novarese Nebbiolo flavors. Great with polenta and meat sauce. — a month ago

Muscular and powerful, but quite approachable. Will gain more complexity, I’m sure, but delicious anyway. — 3 days ago

Leather and citrus peel, dried flowers and sage. Fennel seeds and a core of strawberry fruit. Great acidity and very restrained tannins. — a month ago
