  Duft av roser, tjære, kirsebær, lett fat og muskatnøtt, fruktig og kompleks, balansert og lang. En frisk, flott og ungdommelig men moden Barbaresco som fortsatt var rubinrød på farge. Syren er høy og tanninene tydelige og med et behagelig bitt.

  Nebbiolo wine swap night. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour with wide garnet rim. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark red cherries, slight rustic dusty earth, bits of red licorice, light floral rose. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, very high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), approachable integrated high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of slightly rustic dusty earth, dark red cherries, red licorice, soft spice, powdery chalkiness and a bare hint of green. Medium+ finish.
  Good quality. Traditional style and quite classic, elegant but on the "tough" side of things texture wise. Became more tart and sour cherry like with air for me. So perhaps I don't have that much confidence in how this 2006 will age.
  Tettinieve vineyard is just outside the village of Neive, near the cru of Cottà.

  Elegant, though a little early to drink. Great structure, with good mouth feel and firm tannins. Notes of blueberry, raspberry, oak, and anise. A little puckery. Could be terrific in time. 91-92.

  Nose of cherry, wet moss, and white truffle. The palate has earth and cherry, with a touch of heat on the finish. Just a bit past its peak. I like my Nebbiolo with a bit more fruit but this is nice if you prefer a bit of age and more subtle flavors. Will likely hold here for 3-4 years before heading downhill.
