Più opulento e meno austero di un nebbiolo in purezza, ma comunque elegante e preciso. Fase perfetta di beva, già i terziari se la giocano nel calice con gli altri aromi... poi dal produttore in mi hanno consigliato di aprirlo adesso, non potevo sottrarmi da questa bellissima occasione. Grandissima forma "More opulent and less austere than a pure Nebbiolo, but still elegant and precise. It's in perfect drinking condition, with tertiary aromas playing well in the glass with the other …

Fruit subdued. Cherries, dried roses. Medium plus tannins, medium acidity. Feels a bit dried out.

Fun and enjoyable. Still incredibly tight and constrained out of the bottle. 2 hour decant and it was showing nicely. 3 hours much better. Strong, ripe blackberry on the palate, with leather and spice on the finish. Not a long finish, but quite nice. A good pairing with hearty Mediterranean sauce, but I liked it even better sipping after the long decant.

Tannins have finally softened, but this is still a very dry and austere style of wine as the fruit just lacks any sweetness. Earthy, mushroomy, black tea leaves, a bit of strawberry fruit and cherry flavors, bright acidity, slightly hot, quite persistent on the finish. Classy Italian food wine, but not much pleasure drinking it without food. - 88 points

P&P. Bistecca HK. Nose is giving off old world fruit, wood, alch. This is a dry Italian w some depth and heat. Pretty simple one dimensional so far. Not a complex Wine but nice acidity and balance for Italian style steak.

Better than four years ago, but still young and rather unevolved, though the tannins have softened considerably. The fruit is somewhat suppressed, not sure if this will change anymore. Good acidity, hint of oak, juicy style. Good and classy Italian food wine. Not a wine to remember though. - 88 points

härligt vin, med ursprungstypisk smak. mörkt fint och härligt moget. GOTT!

2008 vintage

Nose: mushroom, earthy, dried tea Palate: quite oaky but well wrapped with dry cherry fruit, finished with dry tannin and chocolate finish. Powerful wine for a Langhe DOC, quite decent use of oak, nice for causal drinking with meal.

2008 vintage

Powerful wine has a bit of everything. All rounded but lack of special characteristic.

2008 vintage

Mid Aug. 2016: deep black red; cherries, red berries and austere notes in nose and mouth; alcohol; medium body.

2008 vintage

Big and fruity, a teeeny tinyy tad maybe overripe but good balance.. Juicy chocolatey fruit, espresso, oolong teas...

etwas schneller entwickelt als gedacht. Jetzt doch schon antrinkbar. Barolo für den kleinen Geldbeutel :) Bevor man zu teure nicht trinkreif e Baroli kauft, sollte man sowas zuerst probieren.

2008 vintage

Still very, very young; initially very tight and not offering much of anything on the nose or palate except ripe tannins. With a few hours of air exposure this opens up slightly with typical Nebbiolo cherry flavors, floral notes and fine acidity. An elegant wine that IMHO still needs a few years to show all it has to offer. Needs food. - 88 points

2008 vintage

Smooth and round, not very complex, but makes fun... Maybe the 10% Barbera makes this wine not so serious and tight than a pure nebbiolo of this age. perfect with roast meat.

2008 vintage

No formal notes. 88-89 points.
