Beautiful Nebbiolo - always great with food. This wine jumps right of the bottle. Elegant.

Dark earth and grippy tannin. Dry as a bone on the finish.

Lean and tight I can appreciate... But this lacked middle even after over an hour in the decanter. Too bad, because the leathery, rose and citrus aromatics were very nice. Served with leftover homemade lasagna crisped in the cast iron pan.

A more international feeling on this. Still drinks like a Nebbiolo, but fairly flashy and open. Discussion ensued as to its age-ability.

I know it's young, but this has some real drying tannins. Rarely do I say this, but could use some more fruit.

No official tasting note, but an enjoyable experience to be sure, this showed a pretty nose of red fruits, dried leaves, earth and a hint of oak. On the palate, it showed masses of Nebbiolo fruit, with a hint of youthful tannin tugging at the senses. This was certainly not what I expected to be sipping at the beach, but somehow went wonderfully with the warm weather and sea air.
