Robert Parker's Wine Advocate95 pts

“The small-berried Serine (Syrah) vines that are the base of the 2018 Gigondas Les Routes are said to originate from Gerard Chave via Jacques Reyaud's Château de Fonsalette. Even without that information, it's possible to discern some smoky, bacony scents on the nose, backed by silky layers of cherry fruit and a pinch of peppery spice. In this vintage, the medium to full-bodied wine isn't a blockbuster but exudes elegance and finesse, with immediate drinkability and a long, finely textured finish. (JC)”

Spring rains led to severe mildew pressure, hampering Grenache yields. Summer was hot and dry. Reds are supple and velvety, low in acid, offering flattering, forward fruit

AboutRoberto Voerzio Nebbiolo Langhe 2023

This isn't the standard Disanfrancesco, but a special LastBottle exclusive labeling.

Dave Santos

I bought it anyway, but any word on these exclusive bottlings from Roberto? I've never had his non exclusive offerings, so I wouldn't have that point of reference anyway, but I assume if he's putting his name on it, it's of good quality.

Replying to Dave Santos

I had this exact bottle a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it as a young nebbiolo. Intense on the nose (cherry jolly rancher and rose petal), surprisingly approachable for a 2023 nebbiolo. For the price I think it's a great buy.
