Crazy value - perfectly aged and ready to go alpine nebbiolo. Compared to Barbaresco, add an extra hit of roses, ease back on the tannins and slip in a touch of balsamic, and you've got something that'll kill it with any roast meat or rich pasta dish.

Still singing. Lots of vinous upon opening which blew off. Tart cherry, leather, tar yet light and fresh even with 12 years.

Very very resolved and ready to go. This exemplifies all the classic nebbiolo character, tart red fruit, asphalt, cave like minerality with cedar, but, there is this touch of smoke or kerosene i cant really understand. This is intriguing and complex. Incredible value here!

Slightly oxidized but loads of fruit still, strawberry and raspberry a bit of clove. Clean and silky texture. Not quite what it was 5 years ago

Complex cool vintage. Sour salted plum, dried cherries, medicinal herbs, rose petals and violets on the palate - with a meaty, raspberry finish. An outstanding wine.

Perfectly evolved & mature with ripe prunes and dusty, balsamic cherries and wilted flowers. Plus an earthy, leathery tone towards the end. On the palate very fresh with high acidity and fine grained tannins. This spent 12yrs in botte and was bottled just in Jan ‘18.
Amazing value!

Almost translucent in color. Lovely old nebbiolo with stuffing to last.
