Le Piane Boca DOC, 2016 (1.5L) Merlot and 37 acres of IGPI ALWAYS forget this wine until I am reminded and, oh THEN. This Alto Piemontese wine sits in a class of its own. Cooler temperatures, rustic tannin, and beguiling fruit send this bottling straight to the cellar for potentially decades of development or, with a decant, RIGHT to the dinner table tonight with something braised. In a word, special. Antonio Galloni 94 96 Points The 2016 Boca opens with an explosion of heady floral and savory aromatics.
