Review
At a decade of age, this Lessona still has some healthy, dry tannins and bright acidity, married nicely with mature fruit. Long, rather mineral finish. Drink or hold.

Review
The 2009 Lessona Omaggio a Quintino Sella is powerful and deep for this bottling, and yet it retains the mid-weight structure that is typical of the appellation. Dried cherry, mint, licorice, dried flowers and earthy notes are some of the signatures. It will be interesting to see if the 2009 develops more nuance over time. Today, it is a bit rough around the edges and also not quite as delineated as some previous editions have been.

Review
The 2010 Lessona Omaggio a Quintino Sella is fabulous, as it always has been. The 2010 offers a compelling mix of deep, dark fruit along with the natural complexity that has developed in bottle. It is both young and also mature, as the best wines from the region are. Dried rose petal, licorice, crushed autumn leaves, dried cherry and amaro herbs all grace this exquisite, reference-point Lessona.
