This wine is showing great strength at its peak - medium garnet color and pronounced aromas and flavors of violet, black cherry, wild strawberry, anise, tar, leather, truffle, forest floor, mushroom - a wild ride showing Nebbiolo in all its grandeur. Very long finish, high acidity but so well balanced with the fruit. Exceptional. — 22 days ago

Got 90% of the cork extracted before it broke because the last part stuck to the inside of the neck. Ended up decanting about 3 hours ago (through cheesecloth), but OMG, simply soaring dark fruits, floral, and lovely road tar as well, this is still somewhat primary fruit wise, but tannins and structure are now soft, supple and broad in its flavors, very long, lingering finish, great Cru Barbaresco!!! — 3 months ago

Bright ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of ripe red and black fruit, Asian spices, wet soil, garrigue and wood ash. Flavors of cranberry, red cherries, red plums, tobacco, Earl Grey tea, dark chocolate, grilled herbs and baking spices. Long and lingering finish. Dusty tannins, firm structure and bright acidity. Lovely concentration and mouth coating texture. Bring on the grilled meat. Great choice, Keith S! — 7 days ago

20251119 Enoclub Alba with Wakano
Recommended by Luca like the other 3 wines the last 3 dinner evenings.
For me, this is the best joice out of the 3 with the first the least.
Full body, nice deep red, not harsh and too rhubarb.
Very smooth taste of chocolate and berries with some ending of leathery.
Excellent !

Weighty and deep. Dark colored. Mature to the point of being a bit too aged. Tannins were mellowed but it just seemed like a less lively bottle this time around. — a month ago

Among some wonderful 2008 Barolos, this Cicala was a standout. Excellent length and complexity. — 2 months ago
