  VERY dark for a Nebbiolo, brownish rim. Good nose w oak, mint, fried mushrooms, cherries, tar. Almost full bodied, plenty of tannins and acidity, cherry fruit. Plenty of oak. Medium aftertaste w alcohol, dried-out fruits. Lots of taste, though, but nothing refined. Wouldn't keep it much longer. Not your typical Barolo from La Morra, much more powerful.

  very youthful at opening with high acidty, tough tannic structure and a certain fruit confit and high alcohol feeling. too tough in my taste. after 3-4 hours in a carafe and slightly chilled, the wine became far more harmonious, smooth and complex with floral notes and nice fruit concentration. still underdeveloped in my view. I would keep it cellared for another 3-10 years

  Red with a brown rim. Excellent nose with roses, some mushroom, truffles, licorice, dark berries.. Distinct but well balanced oak. Velvety tannins and well balanced acidity. Excellent bottle. Saved some and had a glass the day after and it was even betters.

  I think I have to agree with Mr T. The wine doesn't give away much but what it gives away to me is a touch of roses, earth and a beginning of a hint of autumn leaves, slightly perfumed directly on opening but the sweet aromas of nebbiolo are missing!
  Vanilla flavours are present and maybe a bit oaky? The Fruit is not quite there but the tannins are, they are still a bit harsh, even a bit dominating at least without food. Maybe give another 2-4 years and see...A decent wine and about what could be expected. 85-86p.
  Poured over half the bottle and drank after 24h. Slightly better more aromas emerge so upping the score to 88

  A dark quite oaky wine. Where are the nebbiolo scents? But good as a barbeque wine.
