Velvety from start to finish but not too heavy. I must have had a different vintage versus others below because I felt subtle acid made for a good mouthfeel - so soft on the palate it was a pleasure to drink. Recommended as a substitute for another Lange Nebbiolo and didn’t disappoint.

Dyp rød farge med fiolett skjær. Først lukket duft av alkohol og lær, åpner seg med kirsebær og fiken. Smak av det samme, samt litt krydder. Fin syre og balanserte tanniner. Ypperlig til lasagne!

Agree with others here who have suggested this is rather aggressively barreled. An acidic, high tension wine with lots of leather and dark fruit that started to show after several hours, with some chocolates oak notes I am not sure are doing the profile any favors.

Well made wine just overpowered with use of Barrique. Not my style for this elegant grape. I think it has the hype for the American wine consumers who craves oak on the palette...

Torkade körsbär, fikon och läder. Pigg syra, nedslipade tanniner, lätt kropp.
