  V likeable Neb. A bit smoother and 'made' than the equivalent from Luigi Oddero which is a bit lighter. I really enjoyed it and will enjoy drinking the rest of the case. Didnt need decanting or air - fine to pnp. Does what langhe neb should. Drinking now. V good qpr.

  Seeing all the notes around I m biased ! it clearly is a 90/92 but for length it is a little 90, but pleasure and drinkability it is a 92
  
  I was about to rate 90...ish but thought it was better first ... juts a langhe you know ... but what a Langhe is more the right expression !
  
  2018, again AG and JS shitted over it ! screw them ! This is awesome when well made !
  
  WSET mode...
  
  M Ruby
  
  MIOA, red cherry, laurel, mint, eucalypt, balsamic, dried tomates, wet leaves, seasoned oak, intricate and complex, evolving through aeration.
  
  Palate is dry, with M+ acidity, High Alcohol (feeling like M+), M+ tannins soft and savory, M+ Body, and M+ IOA more intense on the palate the wine shows all the above characters with little more spice and grip, with a med subtle savory finish.
  
  The wine is very good, balanced between fruit flavors, tertiary notes coming in and M+ acidity and soft savory med+ tannins. The wine lacks mainly length and a bit more complexity to be outstanding but still shows refined tannins and a savory and subtle slaty finish.
  
  It already shows enjoyable tertiary notes, signs of aging, like balsamic and dried tomatoes. Fruit starts to fall a bit and it will not benefit from aging more considering how well it drinks now.
  
  My Notes
  
  The wine rocks, from top to bottom, it is flashy and sexy but in a restrained and out of fashion way, it s a 50's lady, with class and elegance. All is in its place, no show off ! Only balanced and refined aromas and style.
  
  It is in a perfect spot, and I cannot imagine drinking anything else right now as it is perfectly showing. Savory salty finish ... lingering with no force nor power, 14 alcohol ! you'd never thought that high... again balance is everything in wine, and here it is all balanced !

  Definitely a luscious version of Oddero's nebbiolo. Drank on a trip, so no real notes, will catch up on next bottle.

  👀 Very similar to barolo the other day, light, cherry, tobacco, tar. Slight flower scent pops out over time
  👄 Here you get the difference, acidic, light, red berries, medium length, tar, gripping tannins. Pleasant.

  Medium body, very dry, nice flowery bouquet after breathing, some length.
