Ex cellars recently at a very good price. Great to see Diam (30s) being used- there’s nothing more frustrating than a beautiful wine screwed by a faulty cork and blind loyalty to tradition.
Still too young. Raw, clean, and tannic. It’s a very pretty wine from the outset. Dried roses pull you in to a just medium weight entry. It’s high acid, very clean and crunchy with red cherry skins and mixed dried citrus peel.
Char and smoke pull from early in the middle to black tea, mushroom, and leaf matter to tannins that I can best describe as tar and savoury teleggio mould. green peppery bitterness (rocket leaves?) grabs through the still quite raw and bracing tannins, unadorned by oak, provide a great frame for everything that came before it.
Young, just slips in to excellent on my scale with upside potential. 93. I’ll drink my other bottle in 3-5 to give those raw tannins a little longer to soften.

The 30 is stamped on the side of the closure. A very high grade composite cork. Enjoy your 6, you should drink one now but they have a long way to go.

My cellar is very top heavy with 2013 Barolo quite by accident as I was cashed up at the time. It now seems the 2013 Piedmiont Wines in general are very good but real slow burners in need of cellaring so good to get feedback of the 2013's along the way, much appreciated
