Taste profile

Jeb Dunnuck97 pts

Another single parcel release (these all come from the estate vineyard), the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Pony Express offers a huge perfume of blue fruits, candied orange, and violets, and while it has plenty of minerality, it has less overt iron and bloody notes than the The Trail release. Full-bodied, pure, and seamless, it's another singular wine from this team.

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.
