Score 94/100 · Drink 2020-2032, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2020
The 2012 Lessona Riserva is ample, creamy and voluptuous, and yet it also avoids some of the excess heaviness and ripeness found in other wines of the year. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, dried flowers and anise add aromatic nuance to this super-expressive, nuanced Lessona.

100% Nebbiolo. Aged for 60 (!) months in large oak casks. Pale ruby with broad, watery orange rim. Clearly matured but with some complexity to it. Tobacco leaf and notes of wet leaves and malt. Mature palate with hints of sweet dried fruit and quite a bit of powdery tannin. Intriguing, but a little thin and drying out. Much too long in cask. (WS)
