Massively built with 15% EtOH. A big ripe ball of dark fruit....at this point. Day 2, same thing with bacon /meatiness. Very ripe. — 6 years ago
Big ripe, bold style. The 14.5% alc blocked the nose & it was better on day 2 - balance wise. — 2 years ago
Pretty wine. balance, texture from old vines was noticeable. Framework was all about elegance. This particular bottle missed in the layered complexity department: aromatically & in the mid-palate, something required at this price range, unfortunately. Watched over 2 days. 13.5% alc/vol. Wish I had another bottle for comparison. — 4 years ago
Honeydew melon, apple, fresh tangy fruits with great minerality. Crisp & balanced. Yum! 13.5% alc/vol — 5 years ago
Yummy quaffable pristine red fruit driven Nebbiolo. Naive yet studious. Would be interesting to drink again in a few years once the fruit tones down. Math: 600 Verbal: 600 — 4 years ago

Coming in at 15% alc … you can see the framework of incredible fruit spice layers behind the alcohol. Had this not been dumbed down by the alcohol, it would be a very pretty, layered, elegant wine. — 2 years ago
