Riper, but really elegant wine. — 10 years ago
2008. Deep, deep, so much more than a sforzato. Had it open a week and it kept drinking. "The dream" indeed. — 11 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. — 10 years ago
Soft ripe fruits and tobacco on the nose. Amber red in colour. Soft tanins, mild pear, and tobacco notes. Finishes on notes of smoke. My dining companion compared it to the wine he would drink for the rest of his life. Stellar representation of quality Italian wines — 10 years ago
2007, Anzivino, Gattinara Nebbiolo. Second bottle and is ageing well. Great with grilled ribeye. Black fruit, leather, forest floor; smooth and complex. — 12 years ago

Strong tannins and well structured. Pair with charred red meat and sunchokes - worked quite nicely. — 9 years ago
