An absolutely phenomenal Nebbiolo. This is one of the best I've had. — 7 years ago
Nose of "who hid the fruits in this dusty library?" - red cherry juice, forest floor, touch of acid. So elegant. Will we ever be lucky to try another? — 8 years ago
This was very good fright out of the gate. — 9 years ago
Нос: ежевика, молоко, кожа(животные нотки), фиалка и сиреневый ирис. Легкий, но ощутимый и продолжительный танин, горчинка и ягодный фон. — 10 years ago

It's always a big gamble when you buy and open a really old wine from less than a first rate producer, from a secondary region and from a year most people don't know anything about in that region. It is always a good policy to expect a disappointment when you pop the cork. But like every big gamble, when the bet comes through the rewards are tantalizing. This was more than I could have ever hoped for. The cork (albeit short) was firm and in one piece. Always a good start. And then the perfume came. The room filled with gorgeous light scent of red fruits and florals. The wine itself was very light but muddy in color and completely bricked. But it was magical. Light, almost ethereal, but so young and fresh. It was all primary aromas - cherries, and other red fruits. Great acidity and just perfect tannic backbone. Drank over an hour this kept getting better. But the experience was truly magnificent. Well done you, old Italian man who put this in a bottle 58 years ago! — 9 years ago
If you haven't tried this wine or one of Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo's wines you need to. The Breclemae, Ghemme is even better. — 10 years ago

Pretty cherry fruit with balsamic and white pepper notes. A floral note throughout. Light to medium bodied with good intensity and balance. Long raspberry finish. — 6 years ago
