Had the ‘15 and jumped at chance to taste another vintage and it was equally as enjoyable. Such a delicious, amiable wine, great aromatics out of the gate, very accessible and not showing any signs of age. This shows like a middle of the road Medoc and is balanced & smooth. — 10 months ago

Great vintage, soulful rendition of Nebbiolo, but just know it’s more like a 3 minute Stax records hit, rather than a long play jam of, say, Les Mcann Compared To What. Still, for20$, I’d choose it most days of the week. Some of that burnished leather furniture & forest floor is coming through the Nebbiolo, & so it’s more black fruited & evocative than peppy. Just know it’s a shorter finish. — 7 months ago
Great example of what a Spanna from Alto Piemonte can be. Volcanic soil, traditional process and a great family. Red berries orange peel mint plenty of acid and low alcohol lightens the package. The bottle went empty quickly. — 2 months ago
For a varietal that leans to higher extraction this was restrained. Vibrant. Carried on for hours. — 7 months ago
