Uber ripe with some developed flavors, but as unicorns go I'd rather catch a glimpse of this one then try and capture another — 11 years ago

Just beautiful. Bright fruit, seamless tannin, and a glimpse of the earth it was raised in. With lovely, restrained character, and refreshing acidity- in a town of big fat plush Cabernets, this has finesse and class. Can't wait to see how it evolves! — 12 years ago

A deep intense perfumed glimpse into the hills of northern Italy. Gets better and more expressive with time and pairs well with lamb shank ragout. I heart Nebbiolo! — 11 years ago

Color me a proud mother. You know what, don't color me at all. Was relieved this showed no signs of premox. A subtle wine that afforded glances of elements followed by a glimpse of the whole. Toasted oak was a nice, subtle frame, and a layer of tropicality emerged as a nice feature. Racy and almost stingy at first, with increasing length as the hours passed. In an adolescent stage but with great bones. — 12 years ago
