Kyè Langhe Freisa

Dense, youthful purple. This has plenty of life left and may have been opened too early. Aromas with air show a black cherry, bitter almond and cherry pit. The palate is equally tannic as nebbiolo but offers a fleshier texture, perhaps due to the anthocyanin content. Having been lucky enough to meet a scion of the winemaking family this week I understand that they expect that this wine will be able to age for at least a decade.

Light on its feet with perfumed dried flowers wafting out of the glass - fresh tart rhubarb and red berry compote. Stunning wine. Exotic spice keeps you coming back for more. Structured enough for just about anything you could put on the table.

This was great. Not the nobelist variety but this wine is structured and complex. Truly enjoyable. Medium tannin, moderate acidity. Not super aromatic, but really a nice wine by any measure and perhaps the most serious Freisa I've tried.

Dry, leather on the nose. Bouquet of light fruit.

Smells like Nebbiolo. Drinks with darker fruit and lower tannins.

Pop and pour. Very nice aromatics: plum, soft cocoa, violets....hi-toned. On the palate: good acidity, cocoa, a touch thin on the midpalate, but the grainy tannin kicks in quickly to give a sense of density. More mulberry, plum and soft wood as well. Not bad, but this btl deserves some age. Will wait a while longer for my next one...
