My first experience with the 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo. The wine pours a light, bright ruby with a transparent core and slightly watery rim. The nose is all about the bright raspberries and slightly funky cherries. It’s super dry…with extremely firm tannins and high acid. At this stage, the structure overwhelms the fruit a bit which makes it come across a touch austere. However, with time, I suspect this will come around. Anyway, for $20, this is awesome.

A bit tight at first but after a couple hours opened up beautifully. A clear bright cherry color with hints of mint, starfruit, grass, and a steely Whetstone finish

Richer and riper than previous vintages that I can remember... prune notes are prominent.
Update: so much better the 2nd day. Stewed fruit notes are much more integrated, and the wine is much more enjoyable. This is one to lay down for a couple years.

Feb 18th, 2020Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups™️, brambles, cumin seed and dried Italian herbs. Firm tannins and zippy acid; long-ish finish. So tasty for so little money. Great with food but plenty interesting to enjoy on its own. Huge value. Makes me wonder how good the Barbarescos will be!

An honest, pure and approachable Nebbiolo. With its pretty red berries, rose petal, tea leaves and spice, this bottle proved that even a humble Langhe Nebbiolo deserves at least a few years in bottle.
