Community Tasting Notes 120

  August 15, 2023 - 14.5% alcohol. The cork is of medium length but of pretty good quality; very dense. Translucent ruby colour with a slightly faded tinge, as is common with Nebbiolo.
  Very vivid nose of wild red berries with some dried rose petals. There is a lovely silky quality to the mouth; very good grip nevertheless, and plenty of fruit. The only negative is a slight feel of alcohol in the finish.
  Excellent match for thick veal chop with mushrooms in a creamy tarragon sauce and fresh tagliatelle.

  September 9, 2022 - 14.5% alcohol. Good long dense cork. Decanted 90 mn ahead. The colour is lightish and translucent.
  Very aromatic nose saturated with wild red berries, mostly redcurrant but also with a very pleasant balancing raisiny aspect (not overdone in any way); a whiff of alcohol too at times, that I could do without but not that intrusive. In the mouth, the wine is fresh with bracing acidity and a great sense of purity; red fruited to the power two. Tannins are not a concern.
  One of the good LN and a repeat purchase (paid 12.5€, but prices have gone up a bit since).

  June 15, 2022 - This such a solid wine at a great price. There is fruit, tannin, acidity, and complexity. Perfect for a pop and pour on a weeknight when your in the mood for nebiollo.

  February 18, 2022 - Really beautiful nose with strawberry and cherry preserves, bit of mint, some white pepper, and rose. Much less fruit forward than the last bottle, but, the tannins and fruit are still in balance. Modest finish — but, a nicely developed wine. Doubt it will get better, I don’t think anyone will regret holding it this long. I liked it a little more when it was packed with fruit a couple of years ago…
