Ripe red fruit, juicy tomato, strawberry, rhubarb; smoked meat, pretty explosive flavor, very soft tannin and high acid. Silky. Good.

Beautiful stuff. Tight and tannic day one, now displays dark and powerful red fruits and a silky palate. Great with spicy sausage pizza.

Vintage 2015 | This wine impressed me. Roses 🌹 in the smell. But most of all: 🎯 elegance! Lots of character but with high acidity.

Cucumber peel, mint, green tea, strawberry leaf, fennel and raspberry. Nose feels a bit disjointed actually but palate sits the world slight with immense depth and refined tannins

At $69 at our local boutique, it’s pricey compared to other Langhe Nebbiolos. The 2013 is rich with new oak flavors, sour cherries, pear blossoms, and bitter orange. Needs decanting or time. Compared to the same producer’s Bussia Barolo, this wine is missing some complexity, just as you might expect. In the end, better QPR from the Bussia at Costco. Will retaste in 24 hours.
