Gorgeous. 17’s here are really developing nicely. Spice, red cherrie, soppy ripe red cherries but not over the top. Restrained ripeness. Loads of tar and hot concrete. Palate is so elegant with loads of ripe cherry fruit, spice and wonderful freshness and ripe, juicy tannins. Outstanding length. Satiny texture.

Another 2017 Arpepe winner. Stunning nose. Classic Nebbiolo. Stunning. Aromas of rose petals, tar, some earth, but dried earth, leather and just so deep and so good. Classic. Like MGM classic. Wow. Palate is a dream. Succulent and supple with just insane juiciness and balance. Pure. All red fruit and just perfect balance and sweetness. Sappy and long. And my goodness is this elegant. Maybe the most elegant non riserva I’ve had from ar pe pe. Genius wine. Utter beauty.

Nose: lovely. Sweet pink roses.

Palate: sweet roses. Hint of early season cherry. Delicious.

Having this with fish. A perfect wine with good food.

Ticks all the boxes. Intensely perfumed, tars, tobacco, leather, red/brown fruits, earth.
The Palate rewards with a luscious mouthfeel that’s neither heavy nor light, finishes long, lots of earth and mineral.
The wines are so rewarding.
Thanks@ FassSelections

ベースのワインが程よい緩さのワインだったのだが、こちらは小梅的なクリスプな酸。
イルグエルチオ2019に、ちょい熟成感みたいな。ヴァルテリーナはやっぱり良いかも。
