  Drinking very nicely. High quality, clean fruit on palate - more new world than I was expecting - I forget what I paid for the bottle but thoroughly enjoyable

  A light Burgundian looking Nebbiolo, which had a silky yet still tannic backbone with usual character of the grape.
  
  Pale ruby
  Rose Cherries Raspberries cranberry
  Herbs
  Body medium
  Alcohol high
  Acid high
  Tannins high
  
  A well made wine of which I need to taste more often. I have found Nebbiolo to be intermittent at best, though recently bought a few good options, though likely need a decade in the cellar!

  Score based on Qpr, need a fair bit of air, decanted 3 hours. Red fruit and floral nose, bright cherry and strawberries, tea leaves, tannins are obviously present but not overly.
  
  Well made and enjoyable for weekdays.

  Sanguine, transparent, clear. Pronounced nose of dried straw, wet rock, earthy red cherries and red currant, rose petal. Extremely clean, almost oceanic. Bright, tart acidity, firm, grippy tannins. Savoury, slightly hot. Of all the Langhe Nebbiolos I've had lately, this one stands out. It's vibrant, has decent complexity and is pretty delicious. I'll definitely have another bottle.
