Superb. Decanted 1hr and was still opening up after 2hrs. Alluring nose of red fruit, cherries but with earthiness just peeping through. Overall still youthful but with a serious, complex roundness. Hardly any discolouration. Strawberry and cherry come through on the palate, along with slight menthol. This would keep another 5+. I would try again in another 3 ... if i had any more

A great little example of Piedmont without showing off too much. This hit my preferred flavour profile with cherry, dark fruit along with cedar, tobacco within a pleasantly mid-weight wine. Label states 14.5% but this was not detected - I would've guessed a 13.5%. At this price I would drink and drink again. A full Barolo showcase? No. But a delightfully enjoyable nebbiolo for a fraction of the price.
