My last bottle from ‘16. Almost at peak perfection but what do I know- other than one of my favorite Nebbiolos. Always a bit shy but the bottle age & air brings all those rose, hibiscus & cranberry notes to a fuller pitch. Such great aromatics too. — 4 months ago

Puts on weight with air. Gobs of plum jam and cherry pie. Balanced and elegant even with the 15% alc. Blind tasters guessed Cerasuolo and Super Tuscan. — 5 years ago

Nice bouquet of violet, subtle spice. Cherry, herbal and earthy. Liked it better on the second day. Touch hot on the first. — 4 months ago

Another strong vintage of this consistently excellent wine. Medium ruby color (slightly opaque) with just a slight brick edge. Pronounced aromas of violets, eucalyptus, wet soil and ripe red berries. Red cherry, raspberry and wild berry fruit drive the palate along with hints of white pepper and Asian spices. Beautifully balanced. Bright acidity and firm (yet refined) tannins. Complex and focused. Always a pleasure to drink. — 6 months ago

Pop and pour yesterday. Lovely Gavi. Sea salt and cotton candy florals on the nose. On the palate: excellent acidity and density, lovely salt and lemon notes and a clean finish. Unfussy and yumny. — 3 years ago

This is a 50 years anniversary special Riserva. It is currently available. While the color shows already quite some brownish textures, the wine is still very fresh with nice acidity and tannins. It is very round and balanced.

Tasted a bit restrained at first, decanted in a travel bottle. Really started to open at dinner about a hour later and seemed to continue to open throughout the meal. It showed cherries, other fruits some dried and slight bit of tar. The finish was long and smooth to the end. Out to dinner with a group of wine friends so very busy and a lot of wines to taste but this one stood out to me. At Anthony’s in HH — 5 months ago

From magnum . Little darker ruby than the asili , slightly narrower garnet , terracotta rim . Darker quite ripe fruits , more medicinal , touch of tar and mineral length . Slightly more rustic tannin , good fresh acidity . Slightly darker anis tinged finish with good length. Quite austere and really young , needs time to open . Quite rustic , a bit of a brute ! Better in 5 years and will last a further 5-10. — 7 months ago

Red fruit with heady notes of aged leather and tobacco. Beautiful structure. Medium bodied as one expects from Barbaresco. — 3 years ago

Mid Ruby in colour. Aromas of menthol. On the palate again, virtually no fruit at 15 years - ultra savoury with sandy, tarry, fine powdery, yet persistent tannins. This was a great match with Roast Lamb for Mother’s Day in Australia. No. 3086 of 10,000 bottles. Jancis’s tasting note back in 2012 said “this would make a great introduction to mature Nebbiolo “. — 4 years ago

Sweet spot Nebbiolo. Everything in balance. Classic. Cherry, rose, tar. Just enough fruit holding on. Couldn’t ask for much more from the humble produttori. — 5 years ago
