  Lagerung in Geisenheim im Nebenraum.
  Tolle Nase! 100% Nebbiolo.
  Anfangs pefekt gereift, dunkler und rote Früchte. Länge, Tiefe, gut! Toller Wein!
  Baut schnell ab! Würze, Säure, sehr angenehm.
  Nach 2-3 h Preiselbeere und Hagebutte. Am Ende seines Lebens, mit deutlicher, gut eingebundener Säure.
  Anfangs um 90, nach 3-4 Stunden nur noch um 88. Bald trinken!

  Lovely silky smooth with hints of rose and tar on the nose. A real bargain as I bought it in Italy a few years ago and this was my last bottle of Nino Negri wines.

  A step up in comparison with the 2005. Riper fruit, more structure. Medium-high acidity. Quite oaky on the nose, taking over a bit the fruit unfortunately.
  Fruit des bois, spicies and oak on a palate. Leave a warm feeling (alcohol?) Not really the elegance I was expecting, but a nice modern wine.

  Still quite oaky, with sweet spice & vanilla fudge, and sweet red berries - bit like an "active-winemaking" burgundy. Nose and palate are in balance, and the development is nice, but the wine needs something to counter the spicy sweet oak, which is slightly cloying on its own, and a few slices of gruyère does it. And it's more enjoyable when you give in to the slick professional style. Guess we won't be buying any new vintages of these - there are more genuine examples of Valtellina nebbiolo to find, notably the ones from ArPePe.
