Taste profile

Decanter97 pts

The 2003 Reserve is in mint condition. Tasted from magnum, the wine soars from the glass with Bordeaux-like nuances of dark cassis fruit, tobacco, violets and olive tapenade, carried by absolutely powerful fine-grained tannins. Leather, dried violets and layers of loamy earth add further depth, while black-tea tannins build on the finish, joined by Earl Grey notes. Savoury, expressive and deeply attractive, this is perfectly aged Napa Cabernet at its best — the kind of wine that makes keeping the corks in the bottle nearly impossible.

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.
