Community Tasting Note

  • NostraBacchus Likes this wine: 89 points

    June 6, 2015 - PnP slightly chilled. Has put on some weight since the last time I tasted it. Also feels more balanced and just more interesting than last time. Pretty notes of sweet red berries (strawberries, red cherries), some spices, flowers and some menthol. It's medium bodied and very fresh, with medium+ acidity and medium- tannin. Medium+ length. This is probably not gonna make old bones but it's a very pretty Nebbiolo to drink now and over the next 3 - 5 years while waiting for the Barolos...

    6/6/15, 6:31 AM - thanks for the note. I doubt we'll see (any?) too many 13s making old bones from the Langhe. Oh well, they had a stellar run up to that point.
