Not something to have after a flight of Nebbiolos. Over the top extraction, muscular and powerful. Dusty black fruit and firm chewy tannins. — 8 years ago

One of the hotter vintages so it's tasting pretty good despite the youth. Soft tannins, great red berry fruit flavors, soft tobacco and elegant acidity. I could drink this all night. — 8 years ago

8.9

My previous comments still apply. Takes a little time to open up, and a little hot initially, but otherwise still earthy and having a distinct black olive umami note and loads of acidity. Where were these wines when we were traveling through SW France. — 8 years ago
