From 75cl, perfect cork, decanted 1 hour. Pleasant entry-level Nebbiolo, a bit dilute, with sour cherry fruit, not quite convincingly sweet mid-palate (sqidgy, as opposed to precise, deliniated or defined) and short finish. Ready now, will keep 2-4 years. 86-87P

Underbrush, tar, floral notes, sour cherry. Tannin there, but far from unapproachable. Medium to lighter bodied, with medium plus acid, a touch of warmth on the finish. Better with food. Paired great with a rich brasato. Good QPR.
Better day 2, more depth, gains a touch of weight and more open knit. Nice. Might improve over the next few.

Bright ruby in color. Fragrant nose of rose petals and bright red cherries. Palate explodes with ripe strawberries and cherries. Not super complex at this point, but very enjoyable.

Visit to Elio Grasso (Monforte d'Alba, Piemonte, Italy): Light ruby. Floral nose of wild berries, strawberries, and melange of flowers. Vinous on the palate. Medium-light in body, with great acidity, soft tannins, and a sweet finish.

Personally I love 2014 vintage. Beautiful tension in the wine and also beautiful flower Violet.
