  Great vintage
  Old rose and blackberries on the nose, color still young, balanced, silky tannins, not so long in the month …

  La Rosa 10 year vertical on Zoom with Fabio Bosio. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of sweet sandalwood + cinnamon oak spices, red cherry plum fruit. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, medium acidity, medium+ alcohol, soft pillowy rounded tannins, rounded full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of licorice, sweet spices, leather and meat coalescing, ripe red cherries and plums, bit of sweet coconut. Medium+ finish.
  Good quality, but feels quite "worked". My least favourite of the vertical.

  Typeriktig Nebbiolo på nesen med mer sødmefulle og modent utrykk med kirsebær, plommer, litt tørkede roser, og med en fin jordlig tone.
  
  På paletten er vinen konsentrert og gir en årgangsriktig stil med varmere preg, men som allikevel gir en overraskende bra frukt med flott konsentrasjon der modne kirsebær, lysere plommer, og lær preger en bra, og ganske så tanninrik utgang. Ha vinen til et kraftig storfe-middag med kraftig mørk saus om en fem års tid. Bra vin dette! Ny årgang.
