Seems to have lost a bit of its edge and vibrancy. Nice red cran-cherry flavors and aromas, but there didn't seem to be much depth or structure. I appreciate the lighter bodied style, but I think this cuvee was better younger.

Translucent red, brick red at the edges. Red berries (but not cherry), touch of tar and pine, nice minerality. Very nice nebbiolo with a certain admirable mineral austerity. A bit of vanilla on the finish.

Rounder, but tighter nose than the Valgella. Cherry and red fruit, iron, mildly earthy. Medium body, tannin became more pronounced with air and aromas opened up. Minerality, tobacco/herb and meaty-spicy Nebbiolo bouquet develop. Good material, needs an hour decanting now.
