Dark, intense. Plum, a hint of molasses, whiff of tobacco. Tangy fruit, herbs. Delicious.

Perhaps a bit past it's prime but the freshness and purity this still had surprised me. Dried mountain berries, cool herbs, dried flowers and crushed rocks. I would not put this at 30 years old.

Nice Nebbiolo, history in a bottle. Fantastic find for the price.

'85 Acidity still tight. Less intense than Barolo...more elegant, lighter. Rasberry, tart fruit, stewed tomatoes and balsamic .

Classic Boca. Simultaneously soft and supple yet gritty and grippy. Tasty business.

Most mature Nebbiolo I've ever tasted, all the squeaky high notes had aged into a blood low pitched roar. The iron minerality is perfect. A lovely, enjoyable, & contemplative wine.
