Lovely bottle of aged Nebbiolo. A nice follow up to a 2010 Barolo as the we drank at the end of the evening and the wine was lighter but still with decent fresh Nebbiolo fruit. Interesting wine.

Proposed by the excellent sommelier at Humo, London and it was fascinating to come across a new appellation in an area we know so well. Nebbiolo blend from what we understand with a bit of a local grape we did not note down. Nebbiolo with twist and at times reminded us of a soft valpolicella or maybe a sfurzat. Herby , soft leather , darks fruits , cherries , very savoury wine and indeed a very special type. Very good 91 and with a very long life ahead. Touch rustic that’s all.

Primary and straight forward. Broad on the palate. Plus bodied. Medium acid. Fairly dark and more berry to black cherry fruit, underbrush, and pepper. A bit of tannin and touch of mineral on the finish as this is a bit rustic.
Day 2, more leather. Not improved. Drink now.

Consumed without notes about a week ago. Did not have the magic of that bottle a couple weeks prior, which is strange because this one had a few more weeks after local delivery to settle down. Still, a very nice wine.

Wonderful, fully mature midnight Nebbiolo. Secondary notes in the bouquet, rich, mouth coating fruit on the palate.
