The 2005 Nebbiolo d’Alba Ca Veja is simply gorgeous. Varietal aromas lead to a generous core of ripe fruit, menthol, licorice and spices as this Nebbiolo opens up in the glass. The tannins remain somewhat firm and this is a wine that will offer its finest drinking at the dinner table, but it is a winner. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015.
