I really like this wine; it's like nebbiolo nose and character, but without the huge tannin. Red fruit, earthy, tobacco, tar, floral, really lovely nose. Good density on the palate, and still with structure, but not quite nebbiolo. Great stuff that is killer value.

Very good. Still fresh with cherry fruit and earth along with some further evolution. Still some tannins on the finish. You wouldn’t guess 10 years here. Better than the Rinaldi Nebbiolo from 2010. Drink now or hold a couple more years.

Brooding nose with medicinal herbs, salt liquorice, sour red to dark berries, meat, slight cinnamon and charcoaly vegetality. Rather fullbodied and fruity but very dry and sour at the same time. Juicy mid-level acidity, powerful tannic bite, grapefruity bitter touch, blood, meat and herbs. Dark tea, hashish, charcoal and salt liquorice. Long but rather astringent finish. I love this stuff.
