Violets and peppercorns on the nose, it needs some air to open up, dark wood and some earth on the background. — 8 years ago

Very good. Crushed violets/roses in the nose. Smoked meat with tea leaves on the palate. Would like to see it in a few years — 10 years ago

Such complex aromas that benefited with a bit of air that lead to aromas of sandalwood and smoke, tea leaves, tart red fruits, violets, spice, damp earth and herbs. Long in length with cat tongue like tannin and perky acidity. So so good. — 10 years ago

Classic notes of burnt match head, smoked ham, damp soil, violets, wet stone, white and black pepper and a surprising amount of acid... awesomely wonderful with filet mignon in a brandy peppercorn sauce. — 10 years ago

Nice showing for this Unico. Purchased off of their list. Fully mature & at its peak drinking window with many years ahead. Great aromatics of dried berry fruits, mocha, leather, tobacco, earth and dried herbs, very floral with notes of rose petal & violets. This was elegant & silky with good acid & tannin structure. — 9 years ago

2004 vintage. From Jay. 2004 Bartolo Mascarello - Brief Note from Galloni Historical Retrospective Held in London April 26, 2016. Dark ruby colour. Fresh violets on the nose together with cherries. A little tobacco wrapper. Cracked cloves. Nice fruit on the pallet and very silky. This is both elegant and old school in all the right ways. 92+/100. Drink 2017 to 2028+ — 10 years ago

Oh my heavens. I could wax poetic about Vietti all day. Violets and crushed purple roses jump out of the glass, followed by tart bramble fruits, high acid, and gripping tannins. Nebbiolos smell like the Deep South in summer: wisteria and hot asphalt. — 11 years ago

Floral nose, with apple skin, blackberry, and violets, leather adds to the palate as this is drinking really well right now with youth and maturity playing tug of war with the palate. Best Mourvèdre ever for me so far! — 13 years ago
