A wine of this age should not be as mature, BUT in this case it's advanced maturity is our win as it is still balanced and not tired. It just tastes more like a 1995 or so. The plus side is not owning it but tasting it, but that what you get with 2003 in many cases as the summer was one of the hottest on record in all of Europe. #giacosa #barolo — 9 years ago

In a perfect place right now, just a beauty! A great core of fruit wrapped in secondary aromatics, with a balanced/sweet palate. #giacosa #piedmont ##nebbiolo — 10 years ago

Brown bag, red label. This was a curiosity that needed air. Wish I could have let this sit in a decanter for a day before drinking it. Lots of VA covering up the details. Underneath there's a beautiful wine somewhere. Very classic. Cherry, leather, licorice, clove. #giacosa — 9 years ago
