Felt a little shutdown at the moment. Good wine but needs another 5 to come around.

Jan 3rd, 2024Very much in the tart and tangy register at the moment, this could perhaps develop some more dimension with time.

Dec 30th, 2023I am not sure if this bottle was not stored properly or just over the hill. A subdued nose that needed tons of air & coaxing but really never gave you what one expects from this producer. The palate very Italian, acid and structure, but flavors appeared muted & clenched rather than held back. Disappointing given what this producer is capable of.

Aug 28th, 2022Excellent. Smoke, cherry, and a redwood forest like note. Super soft but present tannins and acid is still bright. Very grateful for this one.

Jun 28th, 2019Incredible Nebbiolo with 70 day maceration with many years on ISO. It's a Burgundian lovers Nebbiolo with aromas of spice, smoke, fireplace, and velvet. Love it.

Improved on day 3. Continuing to reveal herbal/citrus peel notes. Really lovely.

Killer high altitude Nebbiolo. Drinks like a top 1er cru Burgundy

Sep 17th, 2016Lovely. Cherry, fig, licorice, pine, stones, and edges of smoke. Opens up beautifully with an hour in the decanter. 11 years is the perfect time for the tannins to integrate leaving a soft and supple texture. I dare someone not to love this wine.
