PnP served non-blind. Zweder's bottle must have been off, because my bottle was enjoyable. Slightly more fruit and texture than I prefer, with a whisper of honey on the nose, but dry and clean on the finish. At $18, I'm not going to run out and grab a bunch more, but I'd gladly drink it again. Rich and modern (not to the point of Giacosa's 2011), but good purity to the fruit; missing some minerality and sense of place. 13,0% abv, thru 2014

Weekly tasting group #041; Italy: Piedmont, white and red. (@ EvA): In the bouquet some apple and blossom. On the palate apple, citrus and bitterness. Some minerality as well. The acidity is not extremely fresh. An ok, basic wine.
