Good Nebbiolo from somewhere not B&B. Good typicity, rose petals, red fruits, full bodied but still delivers the iron fist in the velvet glove. Great story on this wine, the somm said after I ordered the wine that this was one of Eddie Vedder's favorites, low and behold see the following link: http://www.terroirist.com/2013/07/at-wrigley-eddie-vedder-drank-nebbiolo/. #pearljam #eddieveddder — 13 years ago

rich regal elegant classic velvet glove iron fist. Still so young but so good. Tense with a wonderful succulent black cherry fruits with a wet soil component. Broad and dense slowly unwinds in glass. Young with many years ahead and just a baby still. Wow. — 11 years ago
Dueling Beaujos. Contender #2: Lapierre. Iron fist, velvet glove. Pristine, polished, garnets. A shiny object. — 12 years ago
Clearly one of my favourites from Bordeaux. A very under rated vintage under the shadow of 2000's. Iron fist in a velvet glove is what I think of this lovely wine. Spherical, sexy and very serious.18,5 ++/20 — 13 years ago
