Nicolas Belfrage: Middle-of-the-road aroma. A good wine of Nebbiolo style but nothing special. 15

Simon Larkin: Dark and solid. The aromas here suggest ripe, dusky, dark fruits. There is a floral lift to the wine. This is quite bold, with an assertive tannic frame. There is a deep, tarry nuance here, and a grainy touch to the tannins. The fruit seems locked in, with the promise of more to come. Lacks the length of many, as well as the precision. 13.5

Franco Ziliani: Dark ruby/purple color. Sweet vanilla, oaky and toasty notes on the nose. Dull and bitter in the mouth, with oak overhelming all other aspects of the wine. 11.5
