Shy nose. Perfumed rose petal and cherry. Sour cherry, red fruit, medium bodied. Very tannic and a bit disjointed.

I have been waiting a while to try this vintage. It was worth the wait.

Incredible. Maybe the best smelling wine I've ever had. Drank over the course of 4 hours. Peaked after being open for about an hour but still held up nicely throughout the entire evening.

A bit muted, still with classic Nebbiolo markers. Hopefully just an off bottle.

One of the best Cru's of barbaresco. Hint of richness on the nose still, red fruits, bright. Great palate, good balance, tannins still firm but well integrated. Entering its drinking window now.
