Medium garnet. Typical nebbiolo aromas - red fruit, tar & floral, menthol. Medium bodied, good acidity balances the prominent tannins. Medium length but lacking in complexity. This is a regular purchase and continues to offer good value for money every year. I usually drink the current vintage but I think it's worth keeping these a few years to develop.

Aromas of violets, herbs and concentrated blackberries (reminded me a little of a Soothers cough sweet). Wonderfully concentrated and exuberant palate balanced with very good acidity and some tannic grip. A little spice and there was something mineral alongside the fruit giving extra complexity. Still quite youthful. Long finish.

Still too early. Medium garnet colour. Classic tar and roses nose with some red fruit. Medium/full bodied. Lively acidity but still quite tannic. Long finish. Palate still feels young and needs time to develop. I’d wait a while before trying again.

The next vintage is due in April for the May list. I shall try and probably then ‘invest in a few cases . Happy research
