Muted nose and muted palate. I agree with the recent comment. Only the tannins and acidity show through here. Disappointing as other Forvilles have been very good value.

Really vibrant and balanced, with a great core of cherry liqueur and tart blue fruits, plus the usual rose and licorice, and only a hint of tar. The tannins are present but supple and not overly aggressive. They must have had some really beautiful healthy fruit coming in.

Classic young Nebbiolo: bright red cherries, roses, leather, and licorice. Oh yes, and loads of tannins: my already chapped lips took a beating drinking this. The acid cuts like a knife, giving the wine great freshness and vibrancy. Not much in the way of complexity right now; a few years of bottle age will reveal its true potential. While I know it's a tad ridiculous to suggest aging an $18 bottle of wine, I think that's just what the doctor ordered. Rated 1 on a scale of -1 to 3.

This needs age. The acid and tannins are the only noteworthy aspects at this juncture.
