Colors shows age and is turning ruby.

Modest nebbiolo nose on opening of leather, horse sweat, dust, currants, dirt, asphalt, some roses.

More pungent on the palate spreading widely! wow this is nice. Juicy firm red fruits, cherries, some prune, tiny bit of oak, cedar, smoke, lovely. Tannines are ripe and nicely integrated. Finish is medium long.

damn good qpr... had to double blink when I saw noted 15(!) euros.. but even for the ct average its a go!

Thick, powerfull and intense bit a bit too much stewed fruits and sharp alcohol for me. Its a complex wine, with depth and a long finish but just lacks the balance to be really enjoyable.

Very light in appearance with small tears running down the glass. Refreshing nose with blossom, citrus, fresh cut green hebrs andsome green apple skins.
Palate shows itself somewhat riper and thicker. Gooseberry, pomelo, lime juice and again these fresh herbs.
A serious wine with an interesting intensity. Can imagine it makes a nice food pairing as well.
