First tried this wine at one of my favorite restaurants in New York. Got my hands on another as a Christmas present from a friend who knows me too well. Notes of strawberry and licorice, silky smooth finish, truly great Nebbiolo — 2 days ago

A wonderful surprise. My expectations had been low for this 63 year old wine but it is lovely. Rich fruit with a nicely balanced acid backbone to give it some lift and vibrancy. A short finish, not surprising since the tannins have long since resolved. But the fruit is quite something after all this time. Nice. — a year ago

At age 55 it’s a bit faded. A little tired. But has an elegance and a weightless quality to it. Fruit not vivid but very much alive. Well balanced. This Granbussia, according to the label, was from Bricco Colonello fruit. Lovely. — a month ago

Richly decadent. Mature powerful cherry notes layered on lengthy earthy base. This is prime right now. Like a cresting wave catching it at the peak time. — 8 months ago

This one had good bones but the slightest hint of vinegar on both the nose and palate - and the telltale orange rim in the glass. Drinkable but maybe just OTH and couldn’t measure up to the previous reds — a month ago

Among some wonderful 2008 Barolos, this Cicala was a standout. Excellent length and complexity. — 3 months ago
