Wow! What a beautiful beast !

Nose: blackberry liquor. So sweet and beautiful. Penetrating. So dense.

Palate: sweet blackberry. Silky texture. So good.

This lasts about 15 minutes in the glass. So pour small and drink quick. — 4 months ago

Solid Barbaresco. At this age, the tannins are mellow and the wine is ready to go. — 7 months ago

Huge aromas of blueberry, smoke, liquid minerals and smoke. Very tarry. A bit of heat. Palate is opulent and ripe with good intensity and richness. Acid is a bit low but it’s a good sip. Maybe will grow with air? I will be back. Acid becomes more pronounced with air and it gets more complex. — 8 months ago

More muscular than the Gallina (rightfully so!), but in no way lacking finesse. Concentrated with assertive tannins, yet so lithe and pure. On the nose, roses, incense, cherries, strawberries, eucalyptus, juniper, leather, and a touch of tar. With air, the fruits came to the forefront, popping out with such clarity. On the palate, the young Barolo tannins did seem to dominate, but under it was a really fine red fruit character that gave it such a lovely drinkability. Some minerality in the lengthy finish, though not quite as palpable as on the Gallina. WOTN for all on the table. Compared to the Gallina, I can’t quite say one was better than the other - just different Roagna interpretations of Nebbiolo. — a month ago

First time trying wine from this Roagna vineyard and I’m smitten. Such a filigreed Nebbiolo and it was surprisingly open from the get-go. Perfumed, pure, and just brimming with nervy, stony energy. On the nose, it was a blast of roses, cherries, strawberries, crushed stones, and menthol, along with traces of rosemary and tar. Just so juicy, silky, and mineral on the palate. It felt delicate on a Nebbiolo-scale, but there was this forceful nature that was absolutely captivating. — 5 months ago

Pretty down the middle Nebbiolo from a riper year. Nice overall with good dark fruit and classic Nebbiolo tar / leather but overall impression was a bit lighter than I expected - even with no decant. Nice enough with steaks at Keens but wouldn’t order again. — 4 months ago

Catching up on my notes. This was much better than the last bottle. Enjoyable, but it was crazy that this Gamay felt heavier than the Nebbiolo on the table. In its defense, it was up against Luca Roagna’s deft touch (see my notes on the 17’ Gallina). Despite its hefty structure, the Thevenet Morgon still had plenty of energy. Whole cluster goodness and plenty of red cherries. The palate was full-bodied with a supple texture. It had a touch of candied “sweetness” but plenty of acidity to keep things lively. Finished spicy with suggestions of minerality. One to revisit on a better occasion. — 4 months ago
