04-08 Nebbiolo theme lunch at IT Shanghai. Tasted blind. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fresh red cherries, red plums, spices. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (145), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of licorice, red cherries, red plums, sweet spices. Only a hint of earth. Very long finish. Very good quality. Feels young fresh and pretty. Years of development still to come. Don't discount some of these 2005 Nebbiolos.

Drank 5/9/2019 Brownish red colour. Mature, complex nose. Tastes like a a mixture of Barolo and old Port, dry and complex. maybe even some links to amarone. Has fruit started to fade?
