Riper dark cherry, more concentrated Langhe, A little baking spice and vanilla, but not off putting. Smooth tannins, lighter acid… could be confused for a Barolo or Barbaresco. Delicious.

Oh so pretty - has some nice age and still retains fruit and flowers.

It's good, but I was hoping for a bit more tannin.

Apricot tart, lemon zest, hints of vanilla. Lazy tannins. Lingering finish. Not too shabby.

Varietally expressive and harmonious, very smooth on the palate, moderate complexity, it's the structure that does the business. Neither acid nor tannin sticks out; they work beautifully in tandem to give the fruit a snug frame and draw it to a sumptuous length. Nice drink.
