From Barbaresco's best vineyard. "One of the most refined wines in this range. Here the fruit shows more distinctly red-toned notes, with plenty of Asili creaminess, silkiness and overall texture, not to mention considerable density. There is plenty of Asili sexiness and radiance...This is one of the most polished wines in the range of 2011 Riservas. Then again, it's Asili." Vinous 95

Be still, my beating heart. Abundant fruit, tannin and acid...all pretty much in balance. Showing well now but will be even better down the road once it takes on secondary characteristics. What a beauty!

Whoa. Crazy good. Beast of a wine. Deep pomegranate, dry, earth.

Will live on for 50+years. Tight but already beautiful... Loads of red fruit, flowers and just happiness...

Excellent. Fairly open, velvety, forest floor notes, layered and long. Quite nice now, should be truly wonderful in a few years. Tasted along with Paje of same vintage, this was superior.

Wow. Just about as sexy as young Nebbiolo gets. Loaded with red fruit and spice and masses of sweet, ripe, tannin. This will be very special indeed with time. If you can resist temptation now!

A lot of fun! Tons of energy, acid and tannin. Drinkable though! Give it many years
