Cerebral wine. Subtle aromas of fresh tobacco, dried flowers and berries. Full- to medium-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long caressing finish. A beauty. Best after 2005. 2,480 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Aromas of grilled steak with A-1 sauce. The flavors are complex: black pepper accented with clove, cooked cherries and a hint of tar. The wine has a nice balance of earth, fruit and tannins, which finish long but soft. ——C.S.(11/15/2002)—— 90
