The 2017 Luke Lambert is gorgeous, showing all of the best qualities of Nebbiolo, while presenting a primary and sun-kissed expression from Down Under. The color is classic, translucent ruby, as aromas of crushed cherries, strawberries, dusty cedar and wild herbs lift from the glass. There’s the slightest hint of diesel here, yet this may just be a bit of residual reduction. It graces the palate with silky textures carrying ripe, yet wonderfully pure Nebbiolo fruit, offset by brisk acids and spice, with slow-mounting tannins tugging at senses. The finish is long, structured, yet fresh, with a coating of fine tannins under an air of sweet inner florals. I’ll be interested to see how the second half of this bottle performs tomorrow, but even more interested in seeing how it performs after five to ten years in the cellar. Very Nice.

Superb
For a moment you are in Piedmont then u open ur eyes 👀 and you enjoy the explosion of the floral scents that make a link between those two wine regions Yarra Valley and Langhe
Somehow it makes perfect sense
Great balance and dangerously easy to drink 😎

Luke Lambert 2012 Yarra Valley Nebbiolo. Loaded with personality & character. Along with Arrivo showing the potential of Neb in Aus. The value question is the one that needs to be answered when you can get Voerzio Langhe & Vietti Perbacco for under $50. Lambert's Neb is heaps of fun. Yeah there's some slightly aggressive mid palate tannin that needs food to soften it. Overall an Aussie Neb to watch. If he can get the fruit & tannin length I'll be back. Thanks for bringing the tube @bendid #Nebbiolo #FilthyGoodVino #YarraValley #LukeLambert #RealWine

Very approachable style of Nebbiolo from Luke 'skywalker' Lambert, one of Australia's best! Wish this had hung about a little longer, certainly a second bottle wine.
