I haven’t gone back to check my notes on the ‘18 version of this, but this ‘19 strikes me as more structured and a little youthfully austere. Classically light color as most Lessonas have. Nose is minerally and little on the feral side, but clearly the Nebbiolo fruit is there, showing up as macerated cherry juice with a little tangelo rind and a high-toned floral note. Deeply-flavored but the texture is holding a little back, with a linear, slightly austere feel. O2 is helping. Nice tannin and acids. This is nice now with air but clearly will age very well. 9.2 for now but I think that could go up in a few years. — 14 days ago
Lighter neb, cherries and violets, really enjoyable. Reminds me of some of the wines in the old days when they called it spanna. I really like the more northern Nebbiolo wines better than the regions further south — 9 months ago
Really like this mellow Nebbiolo blend. Good with food but stands on its own without having a lingering palate that can happen with with this grape. Could drink a whole bottle after dinner with this, and just might. — 3 years ago
