Vin très fin et élégant, tannins très peu marqués, fruits rouges avec une bonne dose d'acidité (fraîcheur du millésime, je suppose). Bon le premier jour mais fond de bouteille bien meilleur le lendemain, l'acidité s'étant mieux intégrée avec l'aération.

Colore rosso rubino intenso con riflessi granati sull’unghia. Naso che esprime inizialmente note floreali di rosa e violetta, per poi aprirsi verso piccoli frutti rossi, specialmente ciliegia e lampone, e accenni di note terziarie di cuoio e sottobosco. In bocca ha una struttura fine, con tannino lievemente grippante; a livello gustativo si ritrova notevole integrità di frutto in ingresso, per poi emergere una decisa componente minerale, che conferisce freschezza, equilibrio e una grande facilità di beva. Finale medio-lungo.

Slow-O for three hours. Upon tasting at the cantina, I immediately asked for six. And as much as I like it now, and as much as I enjoy young Langhe Nebbiolo, I'm going to hold my remaining bottles another year as I think an associated dividend is on the horizon. Alan's on a roll with these LNs, and after having gone through more than a case since the first was released, I've yet to be disappointed. No real surprise, there. Love the red fruits, tension, weight, and freshness. Should drink at this level through 2029, at least. Having said all that, I wish I had twelve. 14,5% abv. At present, it's easily recommended

Vin élégant, délicat et équilibré qui s'améliore à l'aération mais gagnera à attendre encore quelques années.
