Rating for Italy-Piedmont: 96 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

The color is an intense glossy garnet, with orange reflections. The bouquet is ethereal, with hints of violets, blackberry jam, licorice and cloves. The palate is dry and austere with lengthy tannins. The wine ends with a long concentrated finish accompanied by a lingering hint of almonds. ""Extremely attractive aromas of blackberry, fresh mushroom and mahogany. Full-bodied, with lovely fruit, soft tannins and a long finish. Chewy, yet balanced and pretty. Builds on the palate. Big and juicy. Best after 2010." 94 Points Wine Spectator

Young and very tannic. Bright red. berries aroma. High on alcohol, need to let it breathe a long while.

Excellent. Expensive. Perfect with bread, cheese, pasta, meat.

full body ... maybe too much - high tans and high acid
