What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Rating: 93(+?) - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 117, November/December 2004 ($261) Good full red. Wonderfully sweet, pure aromas of red berries, minerals and smoky oak, with suggestions of tar and dried rose; subdued and aristocratic. Then juicy and precise, with superb clarity of flavor and cut. Sweet, classy, penetrating wine that showcases the structure and energy of Serralunga. Finishes with broad, strong tannins. A superb performance for this vintage, and likely to merit an even higher score six to eight years down the road.

[Euphemia Haye] Decanted for 2 hours, served in substandard glasses, which muffled nose. Tobacco, sweet fruit, rose pedals on the nose; serious structure; Tar, camphor, dark chocolate, sweet red fruit; very nice wine. Obviously infanticide, but fun. Wont drink the next bottle for 6-7 years. Found the 01 more accessible. 92-94
