  Colors shows age and is turning ruby.
  
  Modest nebbiolo nose on opening of leather, horse sweat, dust, currants, dirt, asphalt, some roses.
  
  More pungent on the palate spreading widely! wow this is nice. Juicy firm red fruits, cherries, some prune, tiny bit of oak, cedar, smoke, lovely. Tannines are ripe and nicely integrated. Finish is medium long.
  
  damn good qpr... had to double blink when I saw noted 15(!) euros.. but even for the ct average its a go!

  Beautiful black liquorice and cherry nose that extends onto the palette. Finishes with vanilla and a long lip smacking finish. Really good now and easily has 5 years.

  No detailed notes. Seemed varietally correct with bright cherry and rose, but lacked the gritty tar I like. A bit heavy on the oak with vanilla quite obvious. Tannins are ripe, acids in balance. A nice wine but not really remarkable. Ready to go with food.
