Nose - oak, clay pot, perfume (in a good way) and flowers. Flavors - plum and pomegranates, nectarines. Feel - soft up front with a little acidic bite at the end. Really lovely all around. Just my kind of Nebbiolo.

Brings just that extra complexity compared to the “straight” riserva. Mindblowing!

Nice start, but the finish is too tannic and harsh. Even after 16 years, the tannins so did not smooth out. Fresh raisin and black cherry to start. Too bad the finish is overwhelming.
