Really lux nose of cedar, bright red cherry, pomegranate, anise, a touch of allspice and white pepper - really fancy. Red fruit leads on the attack with laser like delineation followed by the spice elements before silky fruit comes back on the finish. Wonderfully exciting and balanced wine

Last bottle of this. Nose is gorgeous with tomato leaf, leather, tobacco, terracotta and spiced cherry - nice balance of earthiness and purity. Good initial intensity on the palate with some orange peel joining the mix but a bitter streak comes in quite early in the mid palate which then thins out. Initially the palate doesn’t deliver as much as the nose promises but with time and air things improve greatly and it starts to hang together with richer chocolate flavours. A solid wine here

Purchased in La Morra. This was nice. It starts a little closed with a little oaky element but opens on the nose and palate to clean dark fruit with a touch of wildness. A bit more serious than some other LNs but very nice.
