Though oak is a bit too prominent this is a wonderful showing for the 99. At peak I’d say. Dense fruit, depth, balance, finish with terrific tertiary notes of classic tar, smoke, leather. Excellent. — 21 days ago

2020 is a terrific vintage for early drinking. And Sandri is such a wonderful winemaker. Visits with him are never less than three hours of intense discussion and sampling of all of his botte. He’s very generous and it shows in his wines. Great. — 17 days ago

Uber traditional, heavy bricking, fully mature now and maybe even a bit on the decline (storage before I bought it?), but this is such a classic example of aged Nebbiolo. All sous bois, leather, wood smoke, tar, and fruit that is surprisingly soft. Roddolo is not widely available in the US but deserves to be better known. — 15 days ago

Amazing how long lived these 01 Rieslings are. Honey, slate and lemon citrus, straw, with terrific balance. — 7 days ago
