  A superior Nebb rather than a baby Barolo. A bit foursquare. Perhaps needs a bit more time

  Needs some time to air. Leathery, some legs, gets interesting after some time

  375ml bottle off the wine list over dinner at Otto. Pop and poured.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of perfumed floral violets, red cherries, sandy earth, iron ore minerality. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), soft and supple medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet dark red cherries, ripe strawberries, sour red cherries, earth, sweet spice. Medium+ finish.
  Very good quality. Elegant perfumy Nebbiolo that goes down very well. Already in drinking window in the small format.
  Single vineyard. Spends at least 15 months in 30hectolitre barrels and in used small barrels.

  By the half bottle at Otto. This was an unusual Roero Nebbiolo - early drinking for a Neb and very pleasant. Good with white truffle pasta, even better with a peppery, herby beef fillet. I thought the wine had a really pretty nose - lots of drifting violet and lavender florals, sweet cherry and raspberry fruit, all floating along a bed a more savoury salami, mushroom and clay tones. Pretty and high-toned. The palate shared that high-toned character, with a bright crunch of cherries, cranberries and strawberries. What it lacked in weight and power, it made up for with vibrant energy and charm. Fine tannins and zippy citrus acidity made up the rest of the picture. With the beef, the nice, fresh finish took on a nicely flower perfume. A lovely lunch wine. Nothing too complex, certainly not as serious as a good Barolo or Babaresco, but delicious with the food we had.
