May 20th, 20172000-expressive aromas include distinct floral notes, spiced fruit and a touch of earth. Lovely texture, fullish with fine tannins. #delicious with classic Nebbiolo fruit, spice, earth and only a hint of alcohol. Very long. With proper cellaring, may improve for 5+ years.

@Delectable Wine this is the 85 riserva of the Vigna D’La Roul.
Just opened. This s going to be outstanding. More life and vibrancy than many 85s I’ve had.

A tad less glorious than the Big d’Big. Similar taste profile. No rush.
