Beautiful, nimble, aromatic Nebbiolo (chiavennasca), supposedly a more structured subzone but still very pretty and feminine. Slightly corked.

The sleeper hit of the duck night. Open for business, but with remarkable structural staying power, and played well with the sweet saltiness of the Peking plate

Fruitier than most nebbiolos. Well balanced - long, mellow finished.

Slightly more rustic Nebbiolo, but smoother after decanting. Black cherries, currants. Good value of the age. Would drink again.

A whole lot of meh, with a touch of VA on the nose.
