Excellent example of how well made Langhe Nebbiolo can age. Roasted spice, tart cherry, currant, and tar. Dried earth and integrate tannins. I could sip this every day.

Breaking all the rules - approachable now - spicey but easy going - would be good with carnitas

Somewhat Jammy style Nebbiolo, but with classic notes of rose petal and grilled citrus. Strawberry-raspberry are conjured alongside soft smoke and bitter orange. Money.

Definitely odd for a Nebbiolo. The smoothness of flavor and lack of citric flavors with its high acidity really threw me off for a minute. It is a tasty wine though, Very gentle on the palate and smooth in flavor execution

Multileveled, full bodied with a finish that I can't quite describe. There are so many awesome flavors in this wine. It's dry but sweet and tastes like a well cultured cab sav. Makes me smile ear to ear after that first sip. Perhaps my favorite wine I've ever had.

Medium bodied dry with anise and light red fruit flavors; not overly complex structure or tannins
