A solid wine, but slightly underwhelming for Giacosa. Maybe it’s 03, or that it needs more time.

Strawberry, leather, rose petals, tannins are still fairly big. Wonderful perfume on the nose.

Tart, extremely floral. Wasn’t showing any youthful fruit. Maybe lay off this one for a decade.

Blurry photo, not blurry wine. So precise and brilliant. Still quite primary, drinks much younger than its 20 years. Hold.

Ruby core and light rim, not looking that mature however. Lots of ripe red fruits , nice spice also , violet notes also. Sweet attack , nice acidity to balance . Shows a bit of the alcohol but I suppose that is part of the vintage .. quite complex and enjoyable . Length is reasonable and the tannins are sweet . I imagine that this though enjoyable now will improve for a further 2-3 years and last at least another 7-9

Marc: this is the true giant of the Piemonte, the definition of Nebbiolo. Nebbiolo most imperfect grape in the world. It’s rustic. If vineyard not perfect, wine is really poor. Done eight, possibly more complexity than Pinot. Along with Conterno, most classic producer. Rose petal, earth, tar, a great, focused core. Precision. Marc: a rustic wine.
