Reviews 94 points Vinous "...is superb. Dark, rich and translucent, the 2006 captures the essence of Nebbiolo here, in Sassella. Sweet dark cherries, menthol, licorice, game and cloves are all woven together in a fabric of pure class. Layered, balsamic and nuanced, the 2006 possesses remarkable power while retaining considerable finesse. All the elements are simply in the right place. (AG)" 93 points John Gilman "...is beautifully black fruity and more precise and cooler in fruit tones than the very good 2007s from the estate. The bouquet here jumps from the glass in a refined mix of cassis, black cherries, anise, gamebird, dark soil tones, a touch of cigar ash, beautiful botanical elements and a lovely note of chicory in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full and really hitting its stride, with a rock solid core, excellent soil inflection, modest tannins and a long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. This is a great wine by any measure! (JG)"
