Primanebbia Langhe Nebbiolo
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
2015 cask sample as these guys bottle on demand. What a nose. Mesmerizing. Just so so aromatic. Tar, roses galore, sawdust, old books, ash, smoke, game, hint of spice and mint. Insanely complex. Dizzying aromas right out of the bottle. Wow these wines are something else. What a palate. So dense, so concentrated and so juicy. Insane top 1% freshness. Amazing fruit and finish. As it airs it gets some elegance and the tannins become velvety and more integrated. Chestnut vibes on this and just awesome length. Stays with you. Nose becomes 4 dimensional now on my 2nd pour. This is just insane quality for Langhe Nebbiolo. Spanks so many Barolo and Barbaresco. God this is so floral and nuanced now. Just impossible complexity for this level. Amazing fruit. This gets more and more elegant. Much more elegant than the 12. So much lift. Drinks like $60 classic barbaresco.

Jan 2nd, 2021As awesome as ever and I hope they bottle it soon so I can offer it. Soaring nose of spices, roses, cherries and tar. Super ethereal. Also wild mint. Tree bark. Old chestnut. Intoxicating aromas and seems much finer than the 12. Palate is wonderful. So refined and juicy. Deep, ripe, rich and complex but shows none of the bad character that 2015 can get. Wonderful length and purity. Really fine and elegant tannins. So juicy. Gone of ripe mid season cherries. Tannins get more pronounced as this airs and air is this wine’s best friend so I will be back in an hour.
9.3 to 9.5. This Langhe Nebbiolo crushes many a producer’s Barbaresco. It gains elegance, sweet fruit and insane depth. What a wine.

Nice high quality langhe Nebbiolo (actually bottled as a vino rosso). Open for 6 hours, 3 just cork pop, 3 decanted. The air certainly helped. Dusty strawberry on the nose. Some carry through of that great fruit on the palate by hour 6. Finish is maybe slightly too muddled still. Acid decent on the finish but not quite the refreshing lifting sort.
