What a great blend. As it opens up it somewhat detiorates, with less fruit and more tartness. Great for steaks. — 10 years ago
Opening a bottle of wine is like reading a letter or watching a photo, but in four dimensions. It's like a time travel. Here we have 1998 in Piedmont captured in a bottle. And it's so beautiful. The flowers and cherries on the nose, the lovely acid and tannins that follows. For a moment, we are there: In Alba, 1998. — 10 years ago

Aromas of black cherries and raspberries, cassis, oak, and a bit of damp earth. Medium body, vibrant acid, with a savory, long finish. More Bordeaux than Napa. 13.3abv A balanced, well made wine with pleasing concentration and structure, which definitely bodes well for the long run. — 11 years ago

Call me a heathen but iAd never heard of this wine before. Strangely, I have never been disappointed with Italian wines that begin with the letter B, this one included. It's rich and tart without tannins, straight from the popping of the cork. Leave it to sit and it gains body and legs. Truly a wine worth as outing with cheese and good company. Enjoy! — 9 years ago
