What a difference (almost) a year makes. Stunning nose. Super aromatics. Yowza. Smokey mountain Nebbiolo. Yum. Isn’t that a Dolly Parton song? Old books. Earth, leather, so so good, feral and savory. Wow. Really. 9.4 nose. Wow. Super sweet and refined palate with amazing purity and super velvety tannins. Showing so well now. So distinctive and unique. But also so well made like the world’s best wines. Brilliant.

Jan 25th, 2019This wine is always a 🎯. Great bottle. Aromas one can get lost in. Roses, tar, red cherries, super aromatic, minerals, old wooden cabinet. So classic Nebbiolo. Gorgeous palate of wonderful structure and purity. Terrific mouthfeel of velvet and sweet cherry fruits. Elegant and ethereal with terrific structure. So pure. Vibrant and lively with haunting finesse and elegance. A beautiful wine. Concentrated and deep. So authentic. I love this style of wine.

Stunningly well made. Still has that balance and structure. Amazing acidity. It’s in a spot where I’d wait 5 years. In 10 years when alto is the more popular with the rich crowd this will be the bling. Bought from fass selections. ... after an hour the Nebbiolo spice kicks in. Wow. You can drink this now with a decant. But still better in 5 years. ... after 2 hours ... radiant mouth coating spice. Delicious deep cherry with licorice hints. Nose is getting better. Swirling spice and deep cherry.

Mar 1st, 2019Nice open nose with a soft mouth feel. Bright tart red fruit with slight effervescence and a little bit of spice. Explosions of tiny raspberry puffs.
