Bu en octobre 2020. Les mêmes commentaires s'appliquent encore, avec, au nez, une dominance de cerise de marasquin. L'acidité fait place aux tanins, ce qui permet probablement de maintenir la structure et une belle longevite. (Yo)

Very much holding its composure and it may reward more time sideways but again, it strikes me as lacking that Nebbiolo identity. Blinded, I would be just as likely to call Beaujolais or Cynthiana ;) Though it does carry a nice aura of quality and isn’t a bad drink at all, I would like to try a different vintage and see how these vines deliver. 4+11+14+8= 87

Idem à la dernière bouteille. Issue d'un millésime plus frais, dirigé par une acidité élevé, sur les fruits rouges bien frais, avec un léger boisé, légère salinité en milieu / fin de bouche, belle finesse et grande fraicheur. Bouche moins enrobante que sur l'excellent 2015 mais très bien tout de même.

Un joli Nebbiolo bien typé. Il faut donc s'attendre à un peu d'acidité et un poil d'astringence qui évoque la canneberge. Très beau nez sur les roses, la fraise et les fleurs des champs. Plus intéressant en mangeant. Les plats tomatés sont sans surprise d'un très bon accord. L'aubergine parmesan fut parfaite comme compagne de ce très bon RQP pour tous ceux qui aiment ce cépage. Pourrait vieillir quelques années, mais je pense que c'est un rouge conçu pour être apprécié en jeunesse.

I'm confused by this wine. Each of the three times I have opened a bottle it dissapoints me, but as it sits overnight it resolves into something very nice and food friendly. Is it just young or just needs a lot of air. I really liked this bottle the second night.

Decanted for a few hours. Very dark in the glass with a faint smell of red fruit and not much else. A bit tanic in the mouth but not out of balance. As it sat in the glass the nose grew more pronounced with hints of plumb and spices, cinnamon & cloves. Not sure the wine is identifiable as anything specific. Nice everyday drinker and a good QPR. Would not buy again as I prefer other more site specific wines.

Le vin affiche une robe rubis translucide. Il émane des arômes de cerises, de fruits rouges, de fleurs, avec un peu de VA...qui s'estompe avec l'aération. La bouche est bien fraiche et presque tendu, avec une belle acidité, les tanins sont souples, se termine sur une fine amertume. Profile plus frais que le millésime 2015 (dont j'ai préféré, avec plus de rondeur et de profondeur sans sacrifier la fraicheur). Tout de même très bon!

Tasted at Berman's. This is a blend of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera. Priced at $12.99 a bottle, I bought a case and so were many others at the tasting. Nebbiolo dominates the flavor profile. Great wine for the money.

Idem à la dernière bouteille. Un beau vin gouleyant, douple et digeste. Un beau fruité éclatant, sur les fruits rouges, un peu plus noirs après aération, avec une touche de réglisse. Jolie matière, rien n'accroche. Très bon.
Sachant qu'il se trouve autour de 13$usd, un peu trop cher à 22$cad... Merci SAQ.

Notes after 4 hours open. Bright, medium ruby color, about 70% opaque with clear body and no sediment. Light to medium intensity aroma of pleasing red fruit and spice that is wonderfully pure and clean - without oak, sulphur, or any detectable human interference. Doesn’t particularly show much Nebbiolo character, but it’s too good for the price to nitpick about that. 4+11+16+8=89
One of the best in this price range ($12). Crowd pleasing, light and fruity, showing the Dolcetto principally but with some complexity from its Barbera and structure from its Nebbiolo.

After 14 bottles that were delicious and consistent, this bottle was monolithic with muted, neutral fruit. Purchased as part of a whole case where the other bottles have been fine, this one was an outlier.

Consistent with previous bottles. Deep ruby in color, this wine reveals blackberry, violet, plum, anise and strawberry on the nose. The mouth feel is medium bodied with tons of fruit and soft tannins that make it so drinkable. The finish is in excellent balance with the fruit, bright acidity and soft tannins all in equal proportion. 13% abv.
Purchased for $13US, this was so delicious that my GF and I bought a case of it. The fruit on this offering is so overt it makes it hard to only enjoy 1-2 glasses. We're enjoying the second whole case of this we've purchased together.
Really shows the barbera. Clean, red fruited with plenty of ripeness, but bright and energetic. Really goes down easy and is wonderful with food. Solid food QPR.

Great weeknight Italian red. Aromas of cherry, red fruit, and cola (Dr. Pepper Cherry?). Low tannin and fresh acidity. Tasted of cherry and pepper with a surprisingly strong finish. Would definitely pick up another bottle to have around for Friday night pizza.

Classic table wine from Piedmont. Aromas of red currant, blackberry, and menthol. Flavors favor fruit and spice over tar and leather. Red cherry, rose petals, and cola. Light tannins stand shy to a backbone of acidity.

Clear medium red. medium/light nose, boysenberry, red flowers, black cherry and a hint of earthiness. Delicious light dry flavours and a very dry finish with both acid and tannins.
A fair bit here if you love Piemonte. Don't expect richness.

La note tient tcompte de l'excellent rapport Q-P-P. Couleur rouge andrinople (ou "fraise écrasée") faible densité, limpide. Nez ouvert, petits fruits, fraises des champs, griottes, boeuf salé (non sucré), épices (à préciser) de la complexité et de la subtilité. En bouche, continuité des odeurs percues, fraises, groseilles acidulées, tanins jeunes mais bien intégrés avec une acidité mordante. Persistance moyenne sur du noyau de cerise. Sapide ce vin se boit dangeureusement bien, surtout que l'on ne percoit pas dutout l'alcool tout de même à 13,5%. Pour amateur de Gamay, de Cab franc ou pourquoi pas de Marquette et de Frontenac. Un rouge d'été à servir frais. Un coup de coeur !
13.0% - Clear, med to deep ruby / clean, med+ intensity - red and black fruit mixture of stewed strawberry and blackberry, violet, dried rose petals, earthy and mushroomy background / dry, med to high zippy acidity, med supple tannin, med+ intensity, med length, very well balanced. Generous fruit, young & energetic, but true to its origins in a piedmontese way with Nebbiolo leading the show. This one scores high on the please/price scale! 89+

This was very tasty and enjoyable. Fresh, bright, balanced. Lots of red berry fruits, mint, and floral notes. The palate is lovely and brings in a nice crisp saline finish. Overall a good value in a light bodied easy to drink red.

PnP for an easy weeknight spaghetti dinner.
Paired well with the spice of the ragu, but on its own was not at all tannic with fairly floral aromas.
I agree with previous comments that at first smell, I would have taken this for a Beaujolais.
Doesn’t really scream Nebbiolo to me but not bad for the price point.

Consistent with previous bottles. Deep ruby in color, this wine reveals blackberry, violet, plum, anise and strawberry on the nose. The mouth feel is medium bodied with tons of fruit and soft tannins that make it so drinkable. The finish is in excellent balance with the fruit, bright acidity and soft tannins all in equal proportion. 13% abv.
Purchased for $13US, this was so delicious that my GF and I bought a case of it. The fruit on this offering is so overt it makes it hard to only enjoy 1-2 glasses. We've enjoyed 3 bottles over 3 straight evenings.

Great weeknight Italian red. Aromas of cherry, red fruit, and cola (Dr. Pepper Cherry?). Low tannin and fresh acidity. Tasted of cherry and pepper with a surprisingly strong finish. Would definitely pick up another bottle to have around for Friday night pizza.

Classic table wine from Piedmont. Aromas of red currant, blackberry, and menthol. Flavors favor fruit and spice over tar and leather. Red cherry, rose petals, and cola. Light tannins stand shy to a backbone of acidity.

Medium purple. Intense plum and blackberry fruit on the nose. Delicious plum and black cherry flavours. Intense but not rich. Balanced finish.
A really nice blend of Dolcetto, Barbera and maybe Nebbiolo. A very nice wine from a difficult vintage.

Vin rouge léger et gouleyant. Répond à l'impératif d'un vin léger avec des notes de fraises des champs et de cerises. Remplit sa mission de désaltérer. 89 sur 100.

Clear medium red. medium/light nose, boysenberry, red flowers, black cherry and a hint of earthiness. Delicious light dry flavours and a very dry finish with both acid and tannins.
A fair bit here if you love Piemonte. Don't expect richness.

Delicious wine. Juicy, red fruit. Great acidity, but with plenty of good fruit concentration to balance it out. Case buy for me.

La note tient tcompte de l'excellent rapport Q-P-P.
Couleur rouge andrinople (ou "fraise écrasée") faible densité, limpide.
Nez ouvert, petits fruits, fraises des champs, griottes, boeuf salé (non sucré), épices (à préciser) de la complexité et de la subtilité.
En bouche, continuité des odeurs percues, fraises, groseilles acidulées, tanins jeunes mais bien intégrés avec une acidité mordante. Persistance moyenne sur du noyau de cerise. Sapide ce vin se boit dangeureusement bien, surtout que l'on ne percoit pas dutout l'alcool tout de même à 13,5%.
Pour amateur de Gamay, de Cab franc ou pourquoi pas de Marquette et de Frontenac. Un rouge d'été à servir frais.
Un coup de coeur !

Couleur : rubis, intensité moyenne. Nez : intensité moyenne, parfums de fruits rouges. Bouche : Sec, intensité moyenne, acidité rafraîchissante, tanins souples/moyens, longueur moyenne, arômes fruités (fruits rouges (cerise), touche de fruits noirs (prune), zeste d'orange), agréable pointe d'amertume, touche florale (rose, violette), et minéralité (graphite) en finale. Bel équilibre, excellent rapport qualité-prix.

13.0% - Clear, med to deep ruby / clean, med+ intensity - red and black fruit mixture of stewed strawberry and blackberry, violet, dried rose petals, earthy and mushroomy background / dry, med to high zippy acidity, med supple tannin, med+ intensity, med length, very well balanced. Generous fruit, young & energetic, but true to its origins in a piedmontese way with Nebbiolo leading the show. This one scores high on the please/price scale! 89+

Small tasting pour at a wine store..
Excellent QPR. Nice fruit, some spice, fresh, drinks well now. Maybe a little lighter styled than the previous vintages that I have had before.

This was very tasty and enjoyable. Fresh, bright, balanced. Lots of red berry fruits, mint, and floral notes. The palate is lovely and brings in a nice crisp saline finish. Overall a good value in a light bodied easy to drink red.
