Oliver's Off-piste Piedmont (Bottles, Spitalfields): This didn't quite work tonight - potentially an off bottle although no specific flaw was in evidence. Quite acidic and high-toned, smoke and strawberry, drinkable but a bit too thin to be enjoyable.

Colore limpido e scarico coerente con la tipologia e l'età. Naso semplice, diretto e tipico autunnale di fiori secchi, liquirizia e ruggine. La beva è decisamente frenata da un tannino fine ma asciugante: il sorso si ferma letteralmente a centro bocca scomparendo prima di raggiungere la gola.

Two-hour decant. This wine is in a very nice spot. When you want Nebbiolo but a change from B&B, it's a really good choice.

Herbal complexity, a little liqueur like on the nose. Spice and leather; very smooth and supple, tannins fully resolved. Licquorice. Nuanced finish.
