Opera Prima XVIII - Delicious Nebbiolo. NV. Believe it to be made with a good bit of 2005 vintage. Earthy nose with some mushroom and a touch of leather and tobacco. Great tannins and acidity. — 8 years ago

Great with spicy food (in my case clams and nduja) - lightly effervescent with mild sweetness. Also easy drinking on its own, like when you want champagne but can't commit to the party. Michael makes the best recommendations! — 9 years ago

Elegant, fine tuned, long and graceful with red berries, great tannins and a sublime yet expansive and lengthy finish. This cuvée is not in production anymore, so better grab it while you can. — 10 years ago

Dynamite nose with lovely nuance but just a tad reticent on the palate, a bit clipped on the finish. Delightful nonetheless. The 2004. — 10 years ago

Unreal that I have not tried Italian whites with this complexity before. Major gap in wine appreciation. This is deceptively hot on the nose, but on tasting it's a medium to full with bracing back acidity. Smells of pineapple and kiwi, but the mouth is all quince pucker and yellow fruit. Just amazing with a fatty flavorful fish or roast chicken — 9 years ago

Great stuff! Still an admirable tannic bite. If I had to describe it, I'd say it's two parts Roagna Dolcetto and one part Cayron Gigondas. A lovely pairing to lamb rib chops and garlicky baby potatoes. — 9 years ago

Completely unforgiving upon opening. Four hours later soaring. Old Nebbiolo can require major patience. Proven again with this memorable bottle. — 10 years ago

Still a young wine and could go many more years. Well balanced with a mushroom and black truffle overtone. — 10 years ago

Surprisingly light for a Nebbiolo, tart fruit, great on its own but especially with food — 11 years ago

Very pretty nose of rosé petal red cherry and black spice a very dry and tannic with pretty exotic spice and lots of fruit but needs time. Most excellent — 12 years ago

Woof. Fermenty, citrusy, creamy aromas. Long, slow, peppery burn. Finish never ends. — 9 years ago

With some extra breathing time this decanted bottle proved to be fantastic and still lively — 9 years ago

Showing fat and unctuous, but missing a but of detail and length. Still really nice. — 9 years ago
