Detta var en besvikelse. Man förväntar sig mer av en producent som Pira även om det är på nivån Langhe Nebbiolo. Lite unken jordighet och svampdoft som inte känns speciellt angenäm. Även en vattnighet i eftersmaken som inte hör hemma hos en Nebbiolo oavsett prisnivå. Hoppas att detta bara var en dålig flaska.

Initially cinnamon and red apples(!), also just a hint of salmiak. after some air it opens into a more red fruit drop-scent. in the mouth it is structured feeling with plums, and red berries. the tannins are still powerful, but meets food in a great way. will probably not touch remaining bottles for a year or two, just to see what happens.

Chalky plum, light rim, light purple; white pepper, leather, licorice, black fruits; pepper, oak forward, short finish, light fruit. Overall needs more time for integration - at least three years if not more.

Kind of watered out and anemic. What taste and aroma that was there was pleasant but I had expected more intensity.

Starting to show signs of maturity but still rather closed. I'll hold on to the remaining bottles for at least 1-2 years.
