Worth it at the close out price, but doesn't have the depth of character that makes Barolo Barolo. I'd probably choose a Langhe nebbiolo (Vietti, Produttori) at the same price and enjoy the fresher fruit. That said, nice with a mid week dinner.

Tons of tannic grip still, leathery, cherry raspberry and chocolate complexity. Enjoyed it a lot.

Cherry bomb, with leather and italian herbs. Residual tannine. Very integrated for a 2013. Low on acids.

Classic Neb nose of tar & roses. Palate is fleshy & fruity like a Langhe Nebbiolo, but tannins move forward as the wine breathes. A great example that I'd pour for people unfamiliar with Nebbiolo.

Took some time to show its true colors. Still needs time to grow.
