gave the glass air for over an hour. wine softened up considerably showing rose and tar on the nose. beautiful cherry fruit with just a hint of bitter almond on the finish. a great langhe nebbiolo but not quite as wonderful as the 2021. great depth of fruit from not necessarily all younger vines. love the line-up of wines from cavallotto. this is top of class as far as langhe nebbiolo goes!

very dense and dark. robust nose of tar, underbrush, and cherry. on the palate, i get dark fruit, mainly blackberry, dark cherry, and cassis. underlying tar, earth, and tobacco. moderate acidity and tannins. fairly good balance overall. will be interesting to see how this ages.

somewhat sketchy balance and muted fruit with a slightly bitter finish. disappointing for a 1st cru. enough said.
