Solid Nebbiolo — 8 years ago
From even north of Lessona. Cherry, raspberry, blackberry and fresh plum. White pepper, red liquorice, Dried fennel, almond paste and orange rind. Fine, gentle emery board like tannins with perky acidity. Really approachable now. 65% neb, 20% croatina and 15% vespolina. — 9 years ago
Probably the best under $15 Tuscan I've had. Medium body, fresh cherry, a little herb. Some complexity and pleasant tannins to the finish which is rare for a Sangiovese at this price point. — 10 years ago

VG bit tannic. WS93 best >2013 $70 — 13 years ago
Astringent and out of balance, perhaps an off bottle. Bramble rhubarb and hay with green leaf notes... not typical for Nebbiolo. This wine doesn’t fall into the almost-Barbaresco Langhe wines, nor does it hit the fruit-forward Beaujolais-style Langhe wines of other producers (Elio Altare, etc). The price is right at Costco... I’ll wait for the upcoming 2019. — 5 years ago

A sentimental flavor for me as this is how the wines of my childhood tasted. — 10 years ago
Dark brick color. Supple, full, and delicious. Leather, earthy, a little woody, cocoa, plum skin, currants, a little inky. Needed several hours to breathe. From Eataly wine shop. — 11 years ago
Really fun. Savory funky spicy side of the grape. Nice acids. — 11 years ago
Wrong wine identified? — 12 years ago
Celebration wine (paid off the Tundra).... This is layered and evolving, with a nose of tobacco smoke, tar, black plum, cherry kirsch, dried violet and rose, bay leaf, sage, anise, and blackcherry. Round, sweeter dark berry and cherry fruit on the palate. Structure builds in mouthcoating tannin balanced by rich acidity. Spice box, leather and tar on the mid-palate. Acidity is still fresh, almost tart, and lifts a finish that is balanced and lingers for 60+ seconds. Underripe cherry and gravel. A touch of warmth speaks to the vintage and comune. This over-delivers at the price point with outstanding complexity, depth and length. Hold for 3-5 more years, then enjoy over an evening. — 7 years ago

Low tannin, medium acid, and a medium-, but smooth and round, mouthfeel made this effortless to drink. Aromas and flavors of cherry, cherry, and every kind of cherry I’ve ever encountered. Simple in the best way, but sort of irresistible too. — 5 years ago
