Having had plenty of pre-maturely oxidized examples of wines of this era...this one has not bit the dust. Alive and well, complex minerality and salinity, ripe apples, pears and citrus, white flowers, wet stone, with a long and delightful finish. There is a roundness and richness to the wine that only speaks of what proper storage and high quality white burgundy is capable of. If I had more, I'd open them now, now, now. Cheers!

Bright cherry and wild strawberry fruit with a hint of spice, tomato leaf and fresh roses. This is super light on its feet and certainly from a cooler, potentially more classic than what we have been seeing recently. Color is red-garnet and translucent through and through. Very nice acidity and structure here, elevating with the 3min+ finish. Very young, but lots of promise for Langhe Nebbiolo. Certainly at the top of the class in this category and should be drinking well for another 3-5 years. If you hold them longer, I'm not sure you will be nearly as pleased as I am today. Young and impressive.

This is impressive to its core. Pure elegance at its finest and genuinely impressive at 21 years. Stopping you in your tracks from the nose...Bright, small red berries, black cherry, wild strawberry, strawberry preserves, exotic spices, dried roses, sweet cherry infused wood smoke, and a complex, long, layered finish of 5min+. This is brilliant, transcendent even. Just wow, what an LT. The greatest Pinot Noir I have had the pleasure of not just tasting, but drinking.
