Brick red, light body. Dried cherry, lots of graphite, rose petals. Floral and aromatic when first uncorked, but blows over relative quickly. A whiff of ripe banana? — 4 years ago

Probably the tail end of its good drinking window. Excellent aromatics and actually quite a deeper red color in the glass than expected. A bit muted in fruit on the palate but delicate raspberry comes through with lots of earth. Good acid on the finish. For the age and the price, I’ll take it. — 6 years ago

Nose is very welcoming. Hints of tobacco. Roasted plum. Plum skin.

Palate is sweet plum. Cherry. Delicious. Really sweet fruit. Chocolate. Good acidic balance

Very sexy texture. Really caresses the palate. Clings in a gentle but persistent way. Almost sensual.

I love this wine. Just that yummy Nebbiolo fruit. It has that hint of sweet wood and great juiciness. Lovely rich fruit. It's so good. Really coats the palate. Bought from fass selections. — 8 years ago

Perfect with my garganelli--structured, rustic nose with a palate to match; barely overripe red fruits, earth, mushroom (but not too funky). May not be quaffable. It opens up. — 9 years ago

Gorgeous gorgeous nose. Spice, cherries, chestnut, mint, fresh wood shavings and cherry flower. So pretty but needs some air to really get going. Some tar and roses starting to peek through. Really refined. Beautiful pure fruit and elegant tannins and such refinement. Amazingly pure cherry fruit and a lovely, balanced and very pure finish. Wow, what a masterful wine. Best il Chiosso since 08 Riserva. — 5 years ago

This guy is like the Jacky Truchot of Alto Piemonte. Light color, yet amazing finesse and delicacy along with a brilliant texture. Gorgeous nose. Cherries, spice, sawdust, Rainer cherries as well, some lurid feral aromas as well. So complex, delicate and detailed. Palate is beautifully fruited with lovely elegant tannin and gorgeous bright cherries rule the day. Dusty elegant tannin and sappy fruit finish it off. Needs maybe 1 hour to turn into the lace monster it becomes. — 8 years ago
