Review: In honor of the Breaux Sneaux Sale I thought I would offer my review of the 2005 Nebbiolo. I've reviewed the the 2001 Nebbiolo and found it to be excellent. The 2005 is heading along that path as well. Nebbiolo is a wine that needs to age to bring out its full potential.
In that regard the 2005 is still a little young, but progressing nicely. It has more fruit on the nose than the 2001 does, specifically raspberries and even some chocolate. This vintage is blended with a little bit of Barbera, which I think makes it different than the 2001 and 2002 vintages.
This is a wine that is very drinkable now, but if its older cousins are any example will be even better if you lay it down for 2-3 more years.
Note: If you take advantage of the Sneaux Sale at Breaux you can pick up the 2001 Nebbiolo for $60, the 2002 for $44 and the 2005 for only $30 (all three are excellent values and only being offered today).
Price: $48
Grade: 95
