Senses immediately overloaded, in a good way, with a bouquet of lavender tea, smoked cherrywood, tobacco, cedar, vanilla, and as someone here astutely observed, Alpine herbs. Buried underneath that is wild mushroom, wild raspberries, and cherries. Lasting nice finish, though a bit heavy on the alcohol compared to its southern nebbiolo cousins, but given the sforzato Amarone-like production process, this makes senses. One of the finest reds I've had in some time, certainly on par or better than the other nebbiolo I've tasted.
Better yet, I scored this for a steal of a price at a local Total Wine who either thought this was too old or didn't know what they had.

Выпито в Пильнице в июле 2018 года. Прекрасное, мощное неббиоло. Понравилось. Первый раз мы такое пили с Болдыревым в Пьемонте в октябре 2014.

(18/20) Вино с богатым и насыщенным букетом ароматов вишневого и сливового варенья, спелых ягод ежевики, шоколада, ванили, корицы, кардамона и карамели. Довольно высокая кислотность и мягкие танины. Насыщенный, продолжительный вкус. Отлично!

Can raisins be sexy? In this wine they can! Beautiful fruit and spice - tannins just beautifully integrated. The wine comes together in such a refined way. Bravo!

Plum and mineral notes. Dark cherry, espresso, licorice, and tons of vanilla. High alcohol 15.5%. Very nice
