  Off the beaten track: Darker, sweeter than the Petterino next to it, riper on the fruit, more balsamic. But unfortunately the same story on the palate. Hard, austere and completely blocked by a wall of tannins. This tasting serves as another strong reminder that you should never decant (especially young) Nebbiolo … No rating.

  Fantastic expression of nebbiolo, cherry, briar, slice, beautiful garnet color and wonderful structure, it evolved wonderfully over the evening but not nearly as good on second day, so if you need a reason for a third glass....;-)

  Quite exotic with sweet plums and all kinds of christmas spices like cinnamon. On the medium bodied palate this is soft for "young" Nebbiolo and very generous with sweet, baked fruit, spices and good freshness. In my view this is ready. 17/20

  Med brown. Pronounced. Developed and juicy. Dried cherry, tobacco, mushroom, wood, earth, wet leaves. Med acidity, med high integrated and smooth tannins. Complex and balanced. Outstanding. Long.
  This bottle seems to have aged more quickly than previous one.
  
  85% Nebbiolo, 15% Vespolina

  Paired with everything the entire night, from barbecue to chocolate cake. Held up beautifully. Sweet and savory at once.
