Last of the case, compared to prior notes the nose is now far more reticent but the fruit is still glorious, silky mouthfeel with some complex subtleties of camphor and orange zest peeking through. Fiercely tannic- so much so you absolutely need food to drink it. For me this is going to be a long-lived LN and could end up competing with many entry level Barolos given the structure on show here. Edit: day 2 the tannins are far more integrated and there are more hints of spice on the palate. Confirms this is one to age a good bit further.

I cannot add anything more than LEGAREJM LIKES THIS WINE who nailed it. Lovely entry easy to drink Barolo from a master while you wait for the big boy Barolos from Vajra to mature.

Dégustation Langhe Nebbiolo 2017: Peut-être le plus beau nez de la série, sur l'amande, un côté yaourth pas déplaisant, cerise aussi. En bouche, les tanins sont imperceptibles, un fond d'orange sanguine, aucune note d'élevage, le vin le plus facile et prêt à boire de tous, certains trouvent que c'est un peu court, tendance "glou-glou", mais il y a plus que çà en réalité, pas mal du tout.

Definitely ripe, and I’d prefer more aromatics relative to fruit, but doesn’t feel hot or sunburned unlike some from this vintage.
