Ripe strawberries, cherries, flowers, tea, paint. A hint of something green which balances the fruity and sweet notes. Very fresh, but not much tannins. Slight heat actually (14%), but not a big issue. Very open for business after a couple of hours in the decanter. Drink or hold.

Al naso intensi profumi di frutti rossi, pelle, tabacco e legno ottimamente amalgamati. Al palato ottimo equilibrio, con tannini potenti ed acidità presente che fanno pensare ad un Barolo in evoluzione. Ottimamente strutturato e corposo, austero, caldo, di forza, persistenza lunghissima. Da lasciare invecchiare come i migliori Barolo. Supremo nebbiolo.

Pure fruit and direct, immediate allure; a shining, fruity Nebbiolo expression with lots of fragoline, tender textures and huge perfume. Every sip is captivating and refreshing. Lighter and much more "amabile" than all the other vintages, quite delicate, showing heaps of elegance. Wonderful to drink today.

Expressive Nebbiolo nose of cherry, dried herb, rose, and marzipan. Fresh and bright, light on the palate, with earthy red fruit flavors. Good now and through the decade.

Robe : grenat pâle, robe légère aux reflets légèrement orangés.
Nez : intensité aromatique normale (+) à assez bonne, pur, pas marqué par le bois, sur la cerise, l’airelle, le camphre, des notes terreuses et des nuances florales (de type rose). Globalement, le nez est aérien, n’est pas marqué par la chaleur et l’alcool (titre à 14° dans ce millésime 2018). Vraiment très élégant.
Bouche : entrée d’une grande pureté, élancée, sur une aromatique légère de fruits rouges (de type cerise). Corps normal, la trame tannique est superbe : tanins d’une classe folle, sans accroche, glissant. Le milieu de bouche est très élégant, garde cette grande pureté sans artifice, certes n’est pas d’une grande concentration mais c’est infusé et cela se complexifie progressivement pour apporter des notes de tabac, d’herbes aromatiques, de camphre au-delà des notes de fruits rouges et de fleurs évoqués précédemment. Finale vivace, élancée qui se prolonge sur une aromatique charmeuse, douce avec une sensation qui s’assimile comme une forme de « sucrosité » (un peu bonbon), notes florales entremêlés de cerise et d’herbes aromatiques. Longueur normale (+).
An expressive nose of wild herbs, tobacco, smoked meats, rusty nail and cherry. It is elegant in the mouth and very pure. There's no artifice. It sweetens up in the glass and has a fresh acid finish with relatively supple tannins.

Très bon après 24h d'ouverture mais je pense qu'il faut lui laisser quelques années pour développer plus de complexité.

This was really nice, definitely had the nebbiolo nose but with a much lighter body.

Incredible for a Langhe Nebbiolo. 92-93. The 2017 was a tick better in my opinion.
