Very Rustic alpine Nebbiolo. My 2011 is ready to drink in 2019... a brittle cork may have contributed. Terrific producer, softer Nebbiolo with white mushroom, slightly stewed red cherry, light oak and roses... smells like a winery in production (could be a good thing, or not, for you).

Jammy ripe black fruit on nose. Raisinated fruit notes on palate medium plus acidity softer tannins

Must taste over three days. Day 1: Decaying flowers, iron, dried blood, cardamom. Alc (14ABV) showing on nose. High glycerol. Super tight. Unrelenting in first 30 minutes. Geez.

Another great example of why Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte may be one of the best values in wine. Delicious with dark fruit and lots of earth. Quite complex and full on the palate. Tannins could use a couple more years to resolve a bit more but even with limited air this is quite a nice wine indeed.

Holy tar & roses, I love an Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo. Leather, raisins, ferrous and mineral, prune, cedar, velvety tannins, nice acids keep it juicy. From Flatiron Wines.

One of the best piedmont wines I’ve had. Beautifully complex expression of nebbiolo’s capacity to make big complex wines. Dark dried currants, ripe blue plum, whiff of pepper, licorice.
