What great value with a decade or so of bottle age. Fantastic QPR. Drank most on Saturday - left the last glass sitting in the decanter and tasted epic 24 hours later - structured, balanced and delicious wine. Buy young, store & enjoy..

After a three hour decant this has come round in fine style. Has a certain bucolic rusticity with blueberries and scorched earth to the fore. Tannins are present and rather rugged, perfect for muting the fat on a punchy bbq lamb chop. I thought I'd caught my last bottle on a downward slope but this appears in fine fettle with plenty more left in the tank.

Drank over two nights alongside a Roberto Voerzio Langhe Nebbiolo from the same vintage and this was the darker and slightly richer of the two. My last bottle of this tasted a little cooked but this one was fine and drinking pretty well right now. Very nice and good value wine that partnered well with BBQ Sirloin steak.

On the evidence of this bottle, the wine is in its way out which is strange for a not particularly old Nebbiolo. Perhaps lacks structure. Tasted a little old and tired.
