Disappointing. First night, pnp, menthol and something that I couldn't quite place - almost like the plasticky smell you get from a brand new beach ball. Second night it had disappeared, leaving whispers of some very sweet candied cherry, no particular structure at all. Didn't enjoy it, and will have a very small quaff tonight for education's sake before moving on to something else.

Not at all as compelling as the PIRA Langhe 2016. Nose a little weird, lilacs and oak. Just not nebbiolo. Didn't even finish the bottle last night. Revisit tonight and if any improvement I need to get back to this note.

Not really my style of wine. Sour cherry and cranberry dominates. Rather light body and not a very long or elegant finish. It still is a good nebbiolo that has its place with the right dish or as a summer apero slightly chilled.

First night, light flowery and herbal quality with mild red fruit- second day plenty of pure cherry, almost maraschino-like. I haven't had a lot of nebbiolo so I can't compare to others at the same price point, but this was delicious, if not very complex.

Cranberry, bright fruits on the nose. Mouthfilling tannin, medium grained, great acid, medium length finish of red fruit.
