Tannins were the perfect foil to venison loins in the wood burning oven.

Mar 13th, 2015May be in a dumb phase or still too young right now but it didn't quite show how I'd expect a wine of this caliber to.

Jul 28th, 2017From magnum . Ruby centre with garnet rim . Elegant with roses and medicinal notes , pine resin, dried spices . Spiced red cherry , quite high refreshing acidity . Quite mineral also , sweet refined tannin, long and ripe finish . This is still quite young , elegant and feminine . This is nice now with time in the glass , and will improve over the next 5 , last a further 5-10 .

Oct 6th, 2023Young, austere, opened up after a short decant to show a powerful but graceful and classic Nebbiolo. My last bottle and I opened it a decade too early.

Jul 18th, 2019Beautiful wine with typical characteristics whose only unfair flaw was to be beside the 2004 Rabaja in the tasting.

Nov 6th, 2018Favourite of the night, but still so sooooo young. Needed a good 3-4 hours in the decanter before it finally loosen up.

Feb 9th, 2017This was sublime for something that was double decanted 36 hours earlier. A classic.

Apr 17th, 2016Very aromatic showing dark red cherry, strawberry with dried flowers, leather and tar. Love the transparency and purity of fruit that you normally get out of Burgundy, so elegant and balanced but still has the tannins and structure to develop further. 👌
