Robert Parker

"Nic 2011 expresses intense balsamic aromas, notes of incense, Cuban cigars, noble woods, and a heart of ripe fruit without the slightest excess or overripeness. It does not express the heat of the vintage. The aging process is rather respectful of the fruit, giving the wine a certain restraint and elegance. The palate is medium-bodied to full-bodied with very fine tannins, superb balance, beautiful length, and surprising freshness for this year. Although it can be enjoyed now, it should also improve and develop more complexity with time." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) Improving year after year!

About wine:

Nic 2011 expresses intense balsamic aromas, notes of incense, Cuban cigars, noble woods, and a heart of ripe fruit without the slightest excess or overripeness. It does not express the heat of the vintage. The aging process is fairly respectful of the fruit, giving the wine a certain restraint and elegance. The palate is medium-bodied to full-bodied with very fine tannins, superb balance, beautiful length, and surprising freshness for this year. Although it can be enjoyed now, it should also improve and develop more complexity with time.
