Etichetta Bianca (White Label) Carema Nebbiolo 2013

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2013 “Etichetta Bianca” pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fascinating notes of ripe and desiccated fruits: black cherry, pomegranate, red flowers, roasted beef, cedar chest, alpine herbs and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. Ferrando’s Carema (both white and black labels) are never short on personality and always such a joy to share with others. Drink now through 2043.  — 11 days ago

Carema Nebbiolo 2019

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2019 pours a very pretty garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberries, cranberries, pomegranate, rose pastilles, alpine herbs, cedar chest, and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose thought the palate seems to be a little more reserved. The finish is medium. This is an authentic and elegant expression of Carema; a place already known for elegance. Drink now through 2034. Thanks to @Lyle Fass for the assist! — a year ago

@Jay Kline yup, new winery so no track record but based on Ferrando I think this has legs.

There are similarities for sure. I would even go as far to say that these offer more freshness, at least in their youth.

Wow what a nose. But heavily reduced. More later. Palate is exceptional but closed. Will be back. So classy. Took 24 hours to unwind then stunning with silky sweet fruit and stunning depth, purity and balance. Wow. 9.6 to 9.7. — 2 years ago
