May have lost a little freshness in the last year or two but still drinking really well. Wet leaves, tobacco, blackcurrant, and black tea. Such good value and a tremendous food wine due to its straightforwardness.

A very plesant nose of cherries, forrest and earth. Palate is dry with mouth coating dark cherries and more forrest floor. Allow to open and some nice earthy complexities develop. I appreciate this type of wine very much and it's great with food.

Better than the first bottle. Approachable right out of the bottle, but picked up some weight and got more interesting after 30 minutes in the glass. Floral, bright fruit, nice acidity. Paired with homemade pizza. Good, but not great. My initial comments stand - spend a bit more and get a barbaresco.

Spice and cherry on the nose. Dark cherry notes but light in body. Agree with comments about the drying tannins in it's own but I personally like it. Easily solved by pairing it with food :)

(Malvira Nebbiolo Langhe) #1; COLOR-medium; NOSE-some nice subtle raspberries; I like the hint of earthy tree bark; lots of sour cherry; PALATE-this is very good; very tobacco-like and VERY dry; reminds me of old school Italian wine; really food friendly; extremely interesting; tobacco; tastes meaty; dried cranberries; this wine is dark, interesting and bone dry (maybe too dry for many); this is a very good wine; so much better than so much CRAP ASS Chianti at $14-$20; this wine brings the Thunder; GV-91

Not much going on at all. Uninspiring. Spend a few $ more and buy a barbaresco. Have one more to try.
