Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine: 94 points
June 18, 2023 - PnPed - this has a soaring nose of roses and light red fruits, some earth and a bit of tar. Really perfumed and fragrant. Crunchy red fruits and a savory herbal-green-menthol note, almost citric. The palate is crunchy with red fruits, earth, cinnamon, near-citric and some almost menthol. Very complex and enjoyable - a bit wound up to start. The menthol-herbal dominates the end palate into the finish - which is long and savory and also shows some red fruits.
With time in the glass (2 hours) the nose has become more muted with hints of roses and wild strawberry, soil, a hint of cinnamon, and a bit of tar. The palate is silky and fragrant - tart wild strawberry, rose petals, soil - light and nearly translucent. Some tannins come out towards the end palate that have some grip to them - the finish shows the chewy tannins, tart red fruits, some minerals and savory herbal like notes. If I wanted to show someone a neo-classical Langhe wine, this would be it. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5-5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1-1.5/2 = 16.5-17.5/20.5 people found this helpful 2,276 views
