  This is still quite young and a bit harsh upon opening, so plenty of air needed. Even better, a several more years in the cellar. The tannins dominate the palate at present, but it has a very good structure, nice acidity and floral notes. Very good potential.

  I always seem to underestimate how much air Nebbiolo needs at this age. 3hrs was not enough, probably should've done 8. By day 2 this had such beautiful nose of raspberry, roses, soya, green tea, and pipe tobacco. Palate was silky but still pretty grippy and firm. Shame I only have one 2011, this has much further to develop.

  Rose petals, licorice and camphor on the nose. Tart cherries on the palate, good grip, a long finish. Powerful and balanced. Excellent with smoked ribeye roast.

  Medelmörk tegel/ rubin. Halvfeta gardiner (14,5 procent).
  Solvarma hallon med ett och annat smultron insmugglat. Plus ett par skedar plommonsylt. Sötaktig blombukett och en pust från en avlägsen nytjärad brygga.
  Ganska hög syra, mycket märkbara men välpolerade tanniner. Röda bär, hint körsbär och så igen de där insmugna smultronen. Lite läder. Lång eftersmak med bär och beska.
  Förtjusande!

  Decanted and drank at an Italian restaurant. Evolved beautifully over the course of 90 minutes. The wine was in balance and wonderful with food.
