Despite iffy store conditions, which resulted in a crumbled cork, this was a very rich, succulent wine that was widely enjoyed. This won’t try to convince you it is overly complex but it balances its heavy fruit load with bright acidity and buckets of raspberry fruit. At the end, it started to crumble and show some rot.

Really nice still, soft perfectly ballanced tannins, the nebbiolo fruit in the start, a hush of bitter sweet and a long aftertaste. I could drink this all day. S really likes it too!

Olives, in addition to typical Nebbiolo perfume and dried strawberry. More one-dimensional on the palate. Yes, the acidity and tannins are in-balance, but lacks a concentrated mid-palate arc and finishes short. On point for a Langhe Neb, though doesn't reach the next level as this bottling can at times.

Off bottle. Tasted oxidized, sour, and astringent with strong tannins. Don’t think it is cork taint, just did not perform well in the cellar. Hope your bottles are better
