A much darker color than I would have expected from a 52 year old wine. Powerful, youthful and complex aromas of plums and tobacco. At this point your mind is racing , can the palate equal or exceed the nose because you know if it can you are in for a treat. A very alive , acid driven palate of plums, cherries and tea. Had an old vine creaminess component. After approximately 2 hours the wine started to take on a less open personality. — 5 years ago

Really nice wine. Fruity with great balance and some acidity asking for another sip. Had with orecchiette with rapini and roasted tomatoes ( among other things) and they were fabulous together. Earthy with a beautiful fruity, sour cherry character. — 7 years ago

Beautiful red color. Super clean wine... Wild strawberry on the nose along with powdered chocolate. Still rocking on day 2... One hell of a barbera. — 8 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

Rewind almost 40 years. This wine is still strong. The structure is fading but the palate is there. Secondary notes but oh so layered. Not a great year in Piemonte but this showed up. — 5 years ago

2016 is low aroma vintage, but the color is exceptionally vibrant and the structure highly ordered and organized. Bit static but not dull because of its authentic character and strength. — 5 years ago

Nose was very expressive going into the decanter, under-ripe tart cherry, raspberry juice, rose.

Palate has Bing cherry, plum, flowers and a nice bite of acidity.

The bottle is generally a little tight, likely we'll do single glasses tonight and revisit tomorrow.

100% Vespolina aged in concrete, no wood influence.

24hr Update: Palate is just slammin bright cherry, like this is a totally different wine. — 6 years ago

Heavy bottle! Classic Nebbiolo scents... tar, cherry, roses. Accented with underbrush and leather. Bright sour cherry fruit, chalky tannins and acidity in balance. Food wine. From Alto Piedmonte. 100% Nebbiolo. — 7 years ago

Big dark fruit without being sweet. Strong cherries, blackberries and maybe plum. Deep expression. Tannins and grippy (leathery) but still light in alcohol. — 9 years ago

Dense dried fruit flavored and violets with some savory herb and meat almost tar-like flavors. Some tannins, but the age helped keep this beautiful and velvety finish. — 9 years ago

16.5/20 (89/100) Вино с приятным ароматом молочной карамели, клубники, малины и барбариса. Свежий и ягодный вкус несмотря на умеренную кислотность и ощутимый остаточный сахар. Весьма приятное розе. — 6 years ago

At a glance the wine is a bright ruby. On the nose I find hints of violet and rose petal, cherry hookah, vanilla and white truffle. This full bodied wine starts out dry with a slight peppery note and has a juicy, silky finish. Goes great with breakfast. 95% Nebbiolo; 5% Merlot — 9 years ago
