Looks and smells like a good Nebbiolo should. Shows a pale, translucent garnet in color, with a pretty - though subdued - nose of cherries, flowers, earth and spice. Medium-bodied, but somewhat lean and austere. Not a whole lot of definition or intensity to the cherry and raspberry fruit here, which is unusual for a Langhe Nebbiolo. The finish is long and polished, but also quite herbal and slightly green. Not bad, but I did expect a bit more from this after previous experience with their fabulous Barolos. 50+5+11+14+7=87

Garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of Kirsch, white pepper and berries. Flavors of cranberries, raspberries and cherries. Tart acidity, medium tannin, medium body. Drink or hold.

Good. Tawny edged with deeper red center. Nose of tar and flowers, and spice. Flavors similar to the nose with nice smooth tannins. Licorice finish. Drinks nicely. A good example of Nebbiolo. Drinking nicely now.

Red sour cherry, violets, creamy tannins. More integrated than the last time. Delightful!
