  Scarlet with rusty glints. Nose of red plum, faint tar, dense earth, dark violets. Layers of nimble but firmly-etched red plum, berry, hints of asphalt, and sweet earth on the palate. Fresh acidity and youthful, slightly dusty tannin. Longer finish of clear red fruit cut with iron and tar. Lovely wine showing beautifully at this early stage.

  Showed plenty of typical Nebbiolo character with some leather, tar and floral notes on the nose. Showing more dried red fruit characteristics that keep this in a more delicate, pretty style. Well-liked by those around the table. Approachable at this stage.

  Very good wine, easy drinking, very versatile. Buy a few bottles and open when in the mood.

  Light ruby, moderate bricking which is as expected for a nebbiolo from 2015; aromatic, floral, spices (spices almost remind me of a less intense Barolo Chinato), a bit of tar and soy umami; palate is light bodied, medium-plus tannins which are very well integrated, soy/tamari throughout, cherry, some orange rind; finish is medium length. This is showing more mature notes than expected for a 2015, and it doesn't quite have the length that I would like throughout. Good value, though not great value. 89
