Nothing exciting, but decent. Would give this one a little time to let the oak integrate more.

Disappointing, as I expect great things from Avignonesi. A stemmy, green note dominates. Improves a bit with air but not enough.

Though certainly a bit too early, still drinking nicely. Good fruit, tannins already well integrated. Nice.

Lovely wine... showcases the Nebbiolo charm in an elegant, delicious and approachable way.

Medicinal, huge anise note, cherry, earth. A little disjointed but not without some charm.

Coravin over the summer for a glass, then p&p now. This is drinking quite nicely - though there is some tannic bite, the fruit and tannin are well integrated. Unless the argon affected this in some way, I'd say this one is for drinking over the next year or two.
