  nose is quite lovely, very classy, terroir driven, you sense it's nebbiolo, initial thought was barbaresco, as it comes from a sandy terroir. For me the palate is quite short and watery, in contrast with the nose

  At Masseria dei Vini, NYC
  Pretty and still vibrant color. Nos has soft cherry and spring flowers. This shows amazing grace and elegance and just seemed to glide across my palate. Lovely red fruits of cherries and red plum, this had slight note of orange peel which I so love. Slight note of earth that disapated quickly this was perfectly balanced and seemless with a near weightlessness, this maintains a small bit of tannic structure. Long and tue and never missed a beat, just an amazing bottle in ana amazing place.

  Overwhelmingly amount of cherry on the nose. Highly acidic and astringent on the palate. Tannins that grip, but aren't holding on as tight as they once we're. Beautiful depiction of barolo.

  Grappe Piemonte 2, vin 9:
  
  Ljust röd i färgen, nästan transparent. Ger en hint om att det borde vara gamla botti som gäller här.
  
  Näsan är blommig och parfymerad, lätt och elegant i stilen, hittar även choklad och lite apelsin zest.
  
  Munkänslan är ung och ett vin som inte är redo att drickas. Startar lite avrundat och inbjudan men sen kommer en brutal armada av tanniner ackompanjerad av viss beska.
  
  Det här vinet behöver tid, sannolikt +5 år för att verkligen komma till sin rätt.

  Naso erbaceo e mentolato.
  In bocca è un'esplosione di sapori: cioccolato, sigaro, tabacco....
  Non gioca sull'eleganza ne si lascia bere molto facilmente, ma i sapori sono netti e ben distinguibili. L'alcool è ben presente ma non fastidioso. La bevibilità non è trascinante, ma si ha sempre voglia di un ultimo sorso. Si lo so, sono un po' contraddittorio come lo è questa bottiglia. Nonostante la giovinezza pare di avere di fronte sapori terziari. E' un vino che si pavoneggia con poca eleganza, ma non lascia indifferenti. Se si beve ora si hanno molte soddisfazioni. Non so se il tempo possa smussare tutta questa ridondanza. Se lo farà, sarà un vino da 97.
